Bobby and Beth......
When I first saw your FB entry, I thought, what a nice surprise to have you reach out and share your beautiful family. And it is!
But to our shock and disbelief we were to find out that your family had suffered a shock that no family should......
I have always been told that a death is harder on those they leave behind, and We believe this is true. Noah is in a better place, a place of his choosing. I'm sorry to say, that we only know him by comments from so many people. People that had their lives touched by such a special person, for that is a special gift that Noah had........
So, as you grieve the loss of this special young man, your son, your friend, your brother, remember he would not want you to be in pain. Many are better for having known him and the joy he brought....
Perhaps we know a little of Noah by knowing Bobby years ago....
Jim and I wish that you find peace, and with the help and support of those around you, and those that have expressed their thoughts, you will find your way. But, please, if there is in some way we can help, please don't hesitate to ask..........

Dear Kendall family, I am deeply grieved to hear of Noah's passing. There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss. My prayer is God will mend your hearts with time and be with you through all of this. I remember Noah as a little boy when I worked at LCCN, I adored him! He was the kindest, most sensitive soul and it always brightened my day to see his smiling face. He had obviously grown into an amazing young man, I was blessed to have known him and will never forget him! Rest in eternal peace in the arms of your savior Noah!

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and with all those who loved Noah. He was one of the most sincere and compassionate people that I've had the privilege of knowing, and I feel honored to have had the opportunity to watch him grow up and share his thoughts in English classes at Elida. The world feels smaller without him in it. God bless you all.
