A letter to Hope-Dominique / Remco Dad To Hope, Noah &. Willow (Dad)
Hope, I had known of you for 19 weeks and was eagerly waiting for your birth day, when I would hold you for the first time and begin my relationshhip with you - Father and Daughter - but God had other plans. A scan revealed your weakness and we were devastated. We had you dedicated and asked God for a miracle. We asked our friends to pray with us and they responded to your plight overwhelmingly, compassionately and lovingly. There was nothing we could do except had you over to the Lord - and He received you. Why you had to die, I will never understand but I will always praise God for the blessing we received for having shared in your suffering. Your brief life has touched the hearts of many, brought healing to others and oneness to those who prayed for your healing. We'll miss you heaps - and remember how you brought us closer together in Faith, Hope and Love. You are Hope-Dominique Numan - our daughter, sister to Natasha, Nina-Milan and Neiko, and beloved child of God. I love you Hope-Dominique, Dad xxxxx

A Letter to Hope-Dominique / Mummy To Hope, Noah &. Willow Numan (Mummy)
Hope-Dominique, you grew inside of me for 19 weeks, I felt you move for 1 week, I saw you, held you and spoke to you for 2 days, and I will love you for a lifetime. I know you are in Heaven now, I know you do not suffer, I know you are happy and for that reason, I am happy. But I am also sad becaurse our time together was so short. I will never know what colour hair you have, or the colour of your eyes. I will never be able to comfort you when you need it, feed you when you are hungry, laugh and sing and cry when you do. I will never see you grow up, watch you see a snowflake or walk in sand for the first time or blow out the candles on your birthday cake. All of these things and more make me sad, although I am happy that you are at peace now. I love you Hope-Dominique, Mammy xxxxx

Such a Beautiful Angel xo / Emma Prince (Love for this special angel xo )
So very sorry for your loss. I know Hope and Noah will be playing with all their angel friends and looking after their family also. I hope they are with Nevaeh and they are looking after each other, she has been there 7 months now. This is the hardest thing that I have ever gone through in MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! You just have to take day by day and you never get over it you just learn to live with it. The pain is always there and that will never change until were with them again. My heart goes out to you and your family. The pain and sorrow is so hard to deal with and no-one can truly understand it unless they have been through the same kind of situation. Which I would not want anyone to actually go through the loss of a child to really understand it. The pain is the worst. You will always be their mummy and daddy, that can never be taken away from you like they were taken from you all too soon. So never let anyone say to you that you need to get over it or its been long enough etc... You take as long as you like and deal with it however you please. All my love to Hope, Noah and their wonderful family xoxoxo For you Noah and Hope to play with xo
I am so sorry you and your family are going through this painful loss. In a 'perfect' world, I don't think this type of tragedy would ever happen. BUT - our world is so full of pain. It seems so unfair. I hold you dear to my heart as I add you to my prayer list. I'll bet my Michelle is holding your little Noah up in heaven. She loves little babies.
All my love,
Kathy

A letter to Noah / Sarah Numan (Mummy)
Darling Noah James, when we found out that you were growing inside of me, getting ready to join our family, I was overfilled with joy and loved you immediately. We had waited for so long to have you and now we only had 8 months more until we could meet you.
We found out at 11 weeks that you were very sick and were told you would not be joining our family but would go and wait for us in heaven. I refused to believe what the doctors were saying and waited for you to get better.
Each day I would go and listen in to your heartbeat. Each week dad and I would see you on the scan progressively getting worse. Yet I still kept holding on, just like you did. At 17 weeks, your heart beat dropped by more than half and we were told that you had 24 hours left. 8 weeks later you were still holding on, fighting to stay alive. Your body was completely flooded with fluid yet your heart kept beating. The doctors were amazed - you are a miracle as no baby could survive with that much fluid inside. Our doctor named you the 'stubborn rascal' which always made me smile.
On New Years Eve you gave up the fight and went home to heaven where you were completely healed and welcomed into God's arms. You were born on 3rd January 2007 at 26 weeks and 1 day. When I looked at you I thought that you looked like your big brother Harry. You had the most amazing blue eyes and beautifully shaped lips.
You will always have a place in my heart and I will love you forever. I will wonder what you would have looked like growing up especially at times like birthday's and Christmas. It hurts so much that you have gone, but I feel at peace knowing that you are perfect now and happy in heaven.
I will always love you Noah James
Mummy
A message from Dad / Remco Numan (Dad) Noah - you didn't get the opportunity to hang out with us. We wanted to welcome you into our family and to love and support you in your journey of life - but that is not meant to be. Despite this you have influenced our lives and been a catalyst for countless blessings on our family. Because of you we have received prayer, outreach, hugs, and words of encouragement, kindness, love and support from family, friends, neighbours and complete strangers.
Your mum wanted you so badly that she would pray for your healing. No matter what the doctors were saying she gave God the chance to make a miracle and allowed you the opportunity to prove everyone wrong. Sometimes miracles aren't as we expect - but they are miracles none the less - and you managed to hold out for much longer than anyone believed possible. You allowed your mum to hope, to grow in her faith, and the time to be able to let go.
Every week I would take time out from work to be with your mum as we went to Middlemore hospital to see how you were progressing. This was a time of togetherness where I was able to support your mum in her time of need. Thank you for the countless opportunities you gave me to love her. Your mum is so special to me - I am sorry that she could not get to hold you, feed you, change you and watch you grow. She would have loved you so much and she is hurting so much at your loss.
Today is a day to reflect on "what could have been" followed by the peace of knowing that you are now in God's hands - free from all pain and suffering.
LMPS/ Leslie Lee Mommy To Angel Noah (passerby)
PLEASE CONTACT ME!!! I BELIEVE MY SON HAD LMPS...Hello, Sarah. I lost my son Noah to a rare genetic chromosomal disorder. They never gave me a name because they didn't know what it was. Docs said there were only 4 known cases and that it was lethal. I looked up LMPS and Noah had many of these symptoms. He was born with a cleft palate, club foot, webbed skin, went into respiratory distress a few weeks after birth. He passed away of Chromosome deletion 1, pneumonia, two other things, and other abnormalities. I would love to talk with you but I also understand how difficult it may be for you. Thank you, Sarah for putting a name with my babies illness. I hope to hear from you son. God bless you and your family. Please visit Noah's site: www.noah-grahamlee.memory-of.com Close

Thank you for sharing... / Nancy Green (homeschooling friend )
I have yet to meet you Sarah or your family, but you wrote such a kind email that I was motivated to click on Noah's site. Reading his story was so touching and heartwarming. Thank you for allowing me to share in your experience and in the life of Faith/Noah - I know what you mean about feeling like you losing both your little girl and boy. I feel so much love in your website and your story... I'm going to go spread that love around. Hugs, Nancy Green (mom of ABCD) Close
I'm sitting here with tears as I read your story about baby Noah. You have written about your son in the most beautiful and loving way. While I can not relate how you must feel, as a mother myself, the way you wrote and the advocate you were for your baby makes me feel so proud of you. You have a beautiful family and one day you will be united with your precious babies. The Bible tells us that all of those that we lost in death will be resurrected. You can read this in your own Bible at John 5:28, 29.
You take care...you and your family are in my thoughts & prayers.
So Unfair! / Beth Brandt
I read through the story of your son Noah. I'm so sorry you had so little time with him. What a fighter your son was! He is beautiful! I too have lost children. I had twins on January 24 - Noah and Abigail - they died two days after their birth - they were born at 25 weeks. They have memorial Web sites as well. I had three pregnancy losses before their birth. So I truly know how much it hurts and I just wish no one ever had to endure the pain of losing a child. It must have taken so much courage after your first loss to try again - only to have Noah die as well. I wish you and your family peace. I'm so sorry you had so little time to make memories with Noah after his death. It sounds horrible that the hospital would rob you of that precious time. I just wanted to let you know that the story of your little Noah touched me and I will pray for your family. Close

An Angel Never Dies... / Norma Coan (none)
Don't let them say I wasn't born, that something stopped my heart. I felt each tender squeeze you gave, I've loved you from the start.~~Although my body you can't hold, it doesn't mean I am gone, this world wasn't worthy of me, GOD chose that I move on.~~I know the pain that drowns your soul, what you are forced to face. You have my words, I'll fill your arms, someday we will embrace.~~You'll hear that it was " meant to be GOD doesn't make mistakes," but that won't soften your worst blow, or make you heart not ache.~~I'm watching over all you do, when you are in so much pain that you find it hard to bear, believe me when I say to you, that I am always there.~~There will come a time, I promise you when you will hold my hand, stroke my face and kiss my lips, and you'll understand.~~Although I've never breathed you air, or gazed into your eyes, that doesn't mean I never "was." An Angel Never Dies. Close
Angels/ Afaf Muhammad (visitor to Noah's memorial page )
When we are given life it is for a purpose whether it be 1 second or 100 years. We are put in people's lives to teach them a lesson and to show them all truths that can't be seen until we see someone go through it or experience it our selves. Reading Noah's story I learned to appreciate my daughters more. I have only them and they are why I am here. Your loss is a lesson to all of us to appreciate our children and give them a chance to be all they can be. My heart is with you and your family and will remain on my mind. Our children aren't perfect, well neither are we. Love them and honor the life that you have been blessed to nuture.
Noah is an Angel like all children are showing us our greatness if we just listen to what they are "saying".
Sending loads of LOVE to you and your family from my family.
