My sweet nephew, how brave you were in your fight to battle your illness. Your divine faith was such an inspiration to all of us who love you. I will treasure my many memories of you growing up from that beautiful little cherub toddler to the man you became a sweet, tender hearted and loving Father to Sam, the light of your life. I am comforted by the love of our family surrounding you with love every single day and so thankful for your Aunt Linda, our angel on earth. She never left your side, took such amazing care of you and like I knew she would, she kept her promise to you. A piece of my heart will be missing until I see you again.

My first memory of you Noah was the day you were born. I still can see every detail of your tiny little being. I was in love at first sight. I can see you as a toddler, a young boy, teenager, and finally a man. It wasn´t always easy once you learned you had an opinion, but we worked through those issues that presented itself with love. I will forever remember and treasure our two hour nighttime conversations looking back and laughing at those antics of yours growing up. (Along with your brother and sister.) I was proud that when you strayed off the beaten path, you turned to God and family and turned your life around. The thing I will remember and admire most in you is the fact that you won custody of your 3month old Son Sam and raised him most of his life single-handedly. I´ve never seen a young man turn around in a store shopping and just hug his Dad, but Sam did. Sam was never embarrassed to show you his love in public at any age. That speaks volumes to the kind of Dad you were. He, Son was your greatest accomplishment. Whenever I see my grandson I will see you in him. He is the loving, kind, and gentle soul that you raised him to be. I promise to always be there for him like you were. Every moment we spent together was my favorite, thru the good, bad, and ugly. It´s an honor to be able to call you my Son. I will forever be grateful that your faith was strong and that I know you are in the arms of God along with being reunited with your Sister. What I learned most from you is patience, strength, and a strong bond of family. You have never cared what you had or didn´t have materially. You´re greatest asset was family and throughout your battle to survive we never heard one complaint, you left us with so much dignity, laughter thru tears ,with your sense of humor, and tried to make it easy on the people you love. I´m proud to say that we all pulled together, this family of yours. You were surrounded by love for the whole journey. Like your Sister in Heaven.. I will miss you with every beat of my heart. I love you, Mom
