Noel was kind and caring, asking after the welfare of those she cared about. She was courageous in her battle with cancer. A special memory that always sticks in my mind was having communion together after she came home from the hospital. Noel could hardly swallow but how precious it was to share communion together.

Noel, you will always be remembered for your faithfulness and servant heart, encouraging and supporting me over the years. Even amid your recent health challenges and physical limitations, you still cared for me so well, praying for and keeping me company through messages when I was in hospital. You are sorely missed on this side of heaven. But I know you are also finally free of all the earthly pains and discomforts. Love you lots.

Noel was a God sent prayer angel, she blessed those whom she met, encouraged those who need to be lifted and prayed for those who need God's guidance and comfort. She left behind wonderful footsteps and testimonies on earth and will be dearly missed by all of us. May God comfort Matthew and family.

May you be ultimate peace. I may not have met you personally, but your parenting and role modeling of what a strong and compassionate woman is — it is clearly shown in my beautiful friendship with Erika. She entered into my life at the beginning of college and she has been the friend and woman, I admire, respect and cherish. Thank you for raising an exceptional woman. You are loved.
Noel was a remarkable and wise lady who touched many lives with her warmth and kindness. I cherished the precious memories shared in our care group.
Noel will be dearly missed, and I look forward to be reunited with her again in the new heaven & new earth.
With love and prayers,
