Dear Pat, Randy, and Barb: Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. She is always remembered as one of my "neighborhood Mom's" as I grew up in Jenison. I loved her sweet nature and can still hear her distinct laugh. More important, she has been a very dear and faithful friend to my Mom all these decades later. She has always been a part of the Noe family it seems. I hope it gives you comfort to know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many who care. Love, Lori Noe Alvesteffer - Lori Noe Alvesteffer
