Thinking and praying for you.we all were blessed to know Noah!
I worked with Noah in September 2013 on flooring for my home. He was a very kind Christian man and from speaking with him it was very evident that he loved his family with all of his heart. You are all very blessed to have had him to lead your family. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this sad time.
Mr. Noah was such a kind, gentle, caring person. He touched our lives through his work but became much more than a casual acquaintance in our hearts. We talked about the love of our Savior and Lord in every conversation we had with him. He will be greatly missed and his influence will live on our community and lives. We are praying for you all as you walk through this most difficult time. May the peace of our Lord and Savior strengthen you. Rev. & Mrs. Johnny Strickland

My prayers are with you all that God will show you His Peace that surpasses human understanding! May He wrap His arms around you. I didn't know my cousin well but I loved his mother so much And now he is with her and all the family that have preceded him. Again praying for you all! Sharon
Cynthia, My sympathies go out to you and your family members during your time of LOSS! As you know, I was a high school friend of Noah and have seen him periodically since our graduation. He had the best core values of anyone I have ever met. No one had to ask if he were a Christian, you only needed to observe his actions. I know you will miss him terribly. I pray that God will wrap you in his Comfort during your time of grief and help you to remember the good Noah brought to those who knew him.
