I only have a couple pictures of the time he was with us and I wish I had taken a lot more. I never dreamed he would be gone that quickly. I guess I was thinking of a couple months maybe. It was only 10 days after he got here from Oklahoma that he passed away.
Here's an excerpt from a letter I sent to the family recently:
During this last year we had a “first” happen when our dear brother Noah went to
be with the Lord. There have been others who’ve gone before in our family, but
none of our immediate siblings. I suppose since he was here in our home the last
10 days of his life, it may have affected me more than it did some of you. I
still face a lot of emotion when I reminisce.
Mostly I’m just so thankful that the Lord led every step of the way in
bringing him here from Oklahoma and that he could be with us during his last
days.
I saw a side of our family that I’ve never seen before. I’m so thankful to
be part of a family that unselfishly puts their own convenience aside and
ministers when the need arises. I’m so thankful Noah could be surrounded by the
love and care of his family instead of being in a hospital somewhere alone. I’m
so thankful for each of you who gave financially and sacrificially to love our
brother in those last days. I believe God was glorified and Noah was at peace.
It was so beautiful that Mom could be right there rubbing her “little” twin’s
feet as he passed into glory.
