Noah-
Supportive, kind, compassionate, gracious, humorous, regularly humble in spirit...A significant good in my world. "I have so much of you in my heart" (John Keats). Although you are no longer walking alongside me on the sidewalks and through the parks of this world and talking to me through our regular phone conversations...your words are in my heart and my heart holds so much of you. I love you, always.

After meeting in high school, Noah and I reconnected when we realized we worked two blocks away from each other. We shared so many laughs and ridiculously wonderful conversations that could only be brought about by his unique outlook on life.

Miss you more than you know. Sending so much love to his family & a scratch on the ears for Addi-dog.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
