    I didn't personally know Noah, but I passed him in the halls everyday at school. He was always smiling and laughing with his many friends. His smile truly brightened the halls and I will really miss seeing it. Just seeing his smile could completely turn around my bad days. I am so very sorry for your loss and I hope that God can help the Johnson family through this tough time. I pray that God is taking good care of this amazing guy who was never a burden but a joy to everyone around him.
