Jean: Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss Noel; but I know he is no longer in pain and is in a better place. Remember that I love you and am here if you need anything at all.

Dearest Jean:

We loved Uncle Noel so much! He was always smiling and pleasant regardless of how he poorly he felt. I'll never forget the stories mom shared with me about how she and Noel grew up together. The story of the little chick is most memorable. I'll never forget seeing Noel and Taylor sitting together at Nana's graveside crying and talking about how much they loved and would miss her.

We will miss him and pray for your peace and comfort in the coming days. Most sincerely,

We are,

Martha, Bill, Alexandra and Taylor
