My condolences to Dan Morgan and Jessica Milby. I wish our families could have been closer than time and distance allowed. Noelle was a fighter and we all admired her courage, humor and life. She was beautiful in every sense of the word.

I loved Noelle as her sorority sister at Birmingham-Southern, and as a friend for dinner when I would visit Birmingham. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Noelle had an incredible spirit, facing her battle with cancer with strength and grace. She fought like a warrior, always maintaining her bright smile and positive attitude inspiring all who knew her during her journey. Noelle was beloved by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She effortlessly drew people in with her warmth and laughter. As I reflect on our time together, I will always cherish the fun and laughter our families shared.
Thank you Noelle for your friendship and for allowing me the honor of being your Aunt Carol. You have left footprints on my heart to be cherished forever. I will always strive to "leave a little sparkle wherever I go", just as you always did.
I will miss you dearly until we meet again my sweet niece.

In an unlikely connection through Dan, Noelle, even though we have never met in person, was a tremendous example of strength and hope for me at a time when I needed it most! In 2018, Noelle was courageously confronting ovarian cancer while I was battling health issues of my own. Noelle gave me great advice and allayed many of my fears as my health challenge turned into a shocking (like anybody ever expects to find out they have cancer!) stage 3b colon cancer diagnosis. Noelle was cheering me on as we went through chemo treatments together, me in Jacksonville, FL, and she in Birmingham. We often shared pictures as we navigated the challenges we faced. I owe so much to Noelle and her indomitable spirit. Truly, without her sage advice, my outcome would likely have been very different. Thank you, Noelle, you will be truly missed. You fought the most courageous battle and beat the odds, just because of your amazing spirit. May you rest in peace knowing that you have touched so many along your way!
