Noelle started each day with her simple request for hot chocolate. She enjoyed coloring, playing dress up, “cooking” in her play kitchen and going to the library. She was a puzzle lover and she surrounded herself with books. She loved to watch Disney movies with her baby dolls and she had said she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up. She loved to eat black olive pizza, blueberries and Tootsie rolls. Her favorite song was ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”, which she would sing at the top of her lungs “…having the time of my life…ooh, ooh, ooh”.

Noelle had started preschool and enjoyed her Dragonfly class very much. She couldn’t wait to go on the school bus, although still two years removed. She started to make new friends and got invited to her first kid birthday party which she was never able to attend…

Noelle loved her brothers, and they loved her. Although outnumbered by them, her spirit balanced the household.
