Dear Hugh & Jennifer,

Ackie and I want to express our deepest sympath for the passing of Noah. While we did not know him well, I recall seeing him work hard at therapy and smile bright in the warm water. While we know the hurt of losing a son, we will never know the special relationship you had with Noah, which was evident everytime we saw you with him. Please always remember the impact that Noah has had, and will continue to have on this world.

Love,

Aaron & Ackie Gray

Noah, I dreamed Saturday night that you'd finally gotten your driver's license and were driving around heaven scouting out the territory (and the girls)... just remember, there are several girls & guys down here that love you too! Love ya,

My dear Noah - Ted and I were just talking about you while we sipped a glass of wine on the porch... about how much love you gave... tomorrow is your day - you'll sit at the feet of Jesus and soar with the Eagles! As I spend tomorrow counseling Vietnam Veterans who visit the moving Wall, I'll shed a tear or two for you (or maybe for myself - because I'll miss you terribly). Dear Sweet Noah... please spread your wings over all of us. My dreams go with you.

Karen

What a privilege to meet Noah in the woodshop! Where else to be than hanging out in the chips, the whine and the bustle of churning out projects with his dad. It was only for an hour, but during that visit I got a sense of his quiet bearing, patience and observant eyes. We didn't say much, there was too much to do. The hour passed, a sudden summer storm announced with thunder, Noah went up the hill and our visit ended. For the artist, the life is too short, the craft too long to learn.

Jen, Hugo, Julia and Sarah, May God's outstreched arms with limitless love reach around all of you gathered together at Noah's passing with tenderness, comfort and assurance that we all go to a better place, and that we are all loved unconditionally. You are in our prayers, and we know that Noah is with God, singing with the angels and dancing the dance of eternal life. God is with you each day, blessing you through your togetherness and in your remembrance of your life together with Noah. Love, Jim and Sue Ann Jatko

I have many fond memories of time spent with the Belton family and Noah in particular. He was one of my first childhood friends, and over my lifetime he is the friend who has taught me the most about courage and strength.

One of my most cherished memories that I think speaks to his enduring spirit is when Noah got his first wheelchair. My family and I ran into Noah and his family @ Tyson’s Corner a few days after he had started using it for the first time. Instead of being down about his health, he greeted us with warm smiles and brightened our day by showing us how ‘cool’ his wheelchair was, he even popped a few wheelies.

My sister Karen told me stories about your son Noah last year; she said there was so much love surrounding Noah that you could not help but be drawn into it. Thank you for the joy your son Noah, and your family brought my sister (we're twins & I wish she lived closer so I could see her more often - but it's nice knowing she has another family like you out there to visit). She will miss Noah. Please accept my prayers for your family.

Dear Hugo, Jen, Julia and Sarah; I will forever be indebted to you for allowing me to be a small part of Noah's life and yours. Mike, I look forward to meeting you in the next few weeks. I won't allow any sorrow into my heart for Noah's passing - only joy for having known him. He wouldn't expect any less of us! Rest assured, God found a perfect Angel to watch over all of us (and I selfishly include myself in that group). Who will I read stories to now at family gatherings? I love you guys,

Karen

Dear Noah, I am so grateful God allowed me to be a small part of your life. You have enriched mine immeasurably with your joy, your funny smile and your beautiful eyes - taking in a life's worth of living in a few short years. Thank you dear Angel. Love, Karen

We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Noah. We had the good fortune of meeting and getting to know Noah through Challenger Baseball and at Buzz Aldrin Elementary school. He was a warm and loving person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Jen, Hugh, Sarah and Julia,

I wish to thank you for letting me be Noah's nurse. As you know, Noah and I became friends, as well. How could we not? His lovable nature made it inevitable. I will treasure my 7 years with him always.

He was an extraordinary young man. I will fondly remember his enormous smile, hearty laugh and wacky, wonderful sense of humor. I will always remember his courage and immense compassion for other people.

He was an extraordinary young man. He was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.

May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

Love, H

My wife, Karen, and I had the pleasure of spending a lovely and sunny Christmas Day with Noah and his family some years back – what good and kind people.

I remember a glorious farm-cut tree and a wonderful meal, but most of all, I remember Noah's smile.

He and I played his guitar together: I tuned it up, and he strummed the strings while I made the chord formations. And, that handsome, sweet boy grinned from ear-to-ear – so did I.

Funny, all these years later, and with just one afternoon together, I have always considered Noah my friend.

God bless you, Jen and Hugh; know that your son was so well-loved by you and his sisters.

With prayers and great affection,

John Moody
