Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

My Condolences to your family. Noel will be forever missed. Working with Noel as his Home Health Aid was fun. Once we got to share stories about family and friends, that lighten up his world. We talk about music and movies. He always played my favorite oldies blues, jazz and love songs of the 70 or 80’s. Talking about food and recipes was another highlight of the day. Noel I know you looking down on your family and friends especially your mom. Rest well my friend.
