Krista, Damian, Vincent and Catharine My prayers and thoughts go out to you and all those who knew and loved Noah. The Bible says in James: "Life is like a vapor, it appears for alittle while and then it vanishes away." Noah was a messenger from God (an angel) to the Papish family and all who had a chance to know him or pray for him! While we were praying for "Hope," she came in the form of a little girl and Noah was called home. May God heal your broken hearts and give you a new Joy!
-- Gary Avila

I am so deeply saddened that your precious boy has passed and send you my most heartfelt prayers. You and he have many true friends; I hope they will be of comfort to you in these most difficult times. God bless.
-- Cori Alston
