dawson, TX Sunday, January 2, 2011 There is no doubt that Noel, after he catches up with Martha, will be going after bigger game upstairs. Bear perhaps. Martha and Noel are no doubt together and smiling upon all of their loved ones and all those whose hearts they've touched over all these many years. May Noel and Martha always be together. May God's love shine upon all of us as His Love Shines upon Noel and Martha. Forever and always, dieter and diane and familyBilly & Jody Gladden
