So glad he was such a huge part of my life. Though I’m sad he’s gone from this world, i’m so glad he’s free of his medical struggles. He’ll be in my heart forever. And I’ll smile through every storm, knowing he’s chasing it in heaven.
I loved hearing about Noah’s fighting spirit and his ability to find good in anything. Noah would think about the families that weren’t as lucky as his all the times in the hospital. Truly a blessed child! You can literally rest in peace now.
I’m so sorry for your loss . You all with be in my prayers
Noah always has a special place in my heart. I’ll always remember his warm, kind nature and gentle spirit. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers
My favorite memory of Noah when he was a little guy at church. He was always sitting in one of the front rows of the sanctuary one Sunday morning when I was leading worship, the music for a next song start… Potter’s Hand and I here Noah exclaim, “This is my favorite song!” I have never been able to sing that song since without thinking of Noah’s excitement. And it was a great reminder that day of the joy we should have in worship. Noah, I am glad you are now with our Potter and can worship with your whole heart!
The Lord gained an angel. I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord keep you safe in his arms during your time of need. God bless
