Despite being in a distant location and unable to meet frequently, Noel would reach out to me via text and inquire if she could pray for me during her illness. On occasion, she would also notify me of a sick friend and request my prayers, despite knowing that I was not acquainted with that individual. It's admirable how she uses prayer to connect with her friends and demonstrate compassion towards others. Indeed, Noel is a woman of prayer and a truly beautiful sister in Christ.
To the dear Chu family, may you find solace in your faith and the memories of the love and joy Noel once brought into your lives.

Dear Noel
You will be missed by us. I am very sorry that I did not get this news till today from Elaine Louie. I still remembered that you and Matthew met me and Tony for a dinner before we got married and you kindly gave us advice too. Before I got married, you treated me a tea/coffee in Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central, Hong Kong that you were always caring and kind to me and other sisters in the Greg So's caregroup. Thank you for everything. You will be missed. Love love , josehine chung and tony chan and helena and hillary , Hong Kong

I met Noel through my brother-in-law Ron Park who was a business friend of Matthew. Noel had just been given cancer diagnosis and was very scared, with prognosis of 5% chance of cure. Ron connected Noel to me and my mom Inez. We felt an immediate kinship. We prayed for each other, my mom called Noel her youngest daughter and I called her my little sister, she came to NC to visit us, and my! What a tiny sister she was… small but a giant when it came to being filled with God’s love. She was a witness to everyone of God’s mercy and boundless love. I feel sad for her family not having her presence, but knowing she’s in the arms of Jesus our Lord, and those who have already gone before her,I know My mom, Inez Moore was one of the first to hug her “ littlest” daughter and my little sister. I am looking forward to being together forever. What an impact she had on our lives!
