Erik & I were thankful to be able to be with my family this past week to remember Noah's short life. My brother-in-law graciously used his airmlies so that we could be there (along with Silas). Erik and I ended up being part of the music team for the funeral which was an honor. My other sister, Erin, put together 2 slide presentations for the funeral - the first was shown in the middle of the service and the second was played as the family was led out of the church.
Although Erik and I were only able to know Noah from far away, we prayed for him often and knew just how special he was - to his family and to so many others who met him or only knew him through his blog. Now, our hearts are heavy for Brad, Nichole, Josh & Kailyn as we have a bit of an idea of the road of grief that is still ahead for them...

It's interesting . . . we emailed the links to these videos to our "future" supporters. We've received many emails already this evening of people who have watched the videos and were touched by the videos. Noah is still touching people's lives!!!!!!
He seemed like such a happy boy, despite it all. Thinking of you guys.
What a precious little boy. Safe in the arms of Jesus now! Your sister did a wonderful job on the slideshows. Praying for you all.
so precious. and he's whole now....

Jamie - was Noah your brother's little boy? Our hearts hurt for your family. Wonderful videos - his smile will be a testimony to many. Thinking of you guys....
Wow, that was beautiful. Even though his life was too short, Noah lived it to the fullest! Our prayers are with the families.
Your worship songs were very meaningful and I'm glad that you were able to get there and also participate.

Wow, I like that lost song on that last video. He really is free to do those things!
So glad you were able to be there.
