He was called to God to come home, where he will see no more pain.. We will see him again someday.. Until then.. We ALL, will LOVE and MISS NOAH… our hearts are with him and his family..

I knew you for such a short period of time, but you touched my heart in a way like no other. I will love you always sweet baby boy. May you enjoy your new adventure with Jesus who welcomed you home.
Noah, We love you so much buddy. You will always be with us in our hearts. You lived such a short and sweet life and everyone who knew you loved you so much.

Noah, Listen to everything Pap Pap Rauch tells you about baseball, and you will be a great player just like your Dad and big brother, Cameron. I am so thankful that you were a part of our lives. Your Dad is a much better person because of you. You had a profound influence on his life. I will miss you “little man” and I will remember you until we meet again. I love you Noah, Grandma
To my lil nephew: Sorry your life was short and that you couldn’t have experienced what life had to offer you, but your in the best hands anyone can ask for… God Bless you and now you can look upon us as an angel
To Shaun Pennies From Heaven I found a penny today, just laying on the ground. But it is not just a penny, this little coin I found. Found pennies come from heaven, thats what my Gradpap told me. He said Angels toss them down, oh how I loved that story. He said when an Angel misses you, they toss a penny down. Sometimes just to cheer you up, make a smile out of your frown. So don’t pass by that penny when you’re feeling blue. It may be a penny from heaven, that a Angel named Noah has tossed to you
To Shaun and family I did’nt know Noah,but I do know his Uncle John Jr.Just whated to to say how sorry I am for your loss.And will keep all of you in my prayers.
Laura I can not express my sympathy for your loss. I can not imagine the pain you are feeling at this time. I can only tell you that you are in my prayers. I send you my love. Carol

To my dearest family, some things I’d like to say… but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I’m writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there’s no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight. Remember that I’m with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, “I welcome you.” It’s good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on. I need you here badly; you’re part of my plan. There’s so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.” God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day’s chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you….in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o’er. I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I’d like it for you too… that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who’s in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night……”My day was not in vain.” And now I am contented….that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you’re walking down the street, and you’ve got me on your mind; I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it’s time for you to go…. from that body to be free, remember you’re not going…..you’re coming here to me. Ruth Ann Mahaffey (author) ©Copyright 1998-2006 http://www.ruthann1.com
