Noelle Claire Naylor 
Our Little Lion
Journal
Saturday, November 8, 2008 7:16 AM CST Another blessing has come to our family in a way we never expected and only one person comes to mind when we think of it- our amazing Noelle.
Yesterday, an article ran in the Kenosha News on our family and our new project, Noelle's Treasure Box. This new motivator for our family stemmed from buying 4 year old birthday presents for our little girl and then donating them to the Bone Marrow Clinic at Children's Hospital. We brought about 20 presents to Children's last May. In August, Tessa learned the lesson of giving by helping Dave and I buy about 50 or so presents for the clinic. Thanks to generous donations, Dave brought about 300 presents a few weeks ago.
After running this article, we are no longer limitless in this new charity. In our wildest dreams, we could have never imagined this outpouring of love and support. We have once again felt the strength of our daughter pull people toward the idea of the "good in people". An older gentleman knocked on our front door yesterday. When I answered it, he asked if this was the Naylor Residence and handed me two presents for the clinic. It is amazing to see the angels on earth face-to-face. I said thank you because there were no words and he left never to be seen again.
Throughout this struggle, our faith has been questioned numerous times and when it has something has happened to show us that faith is what it is all about. People are good and want to do good things despite all the bad we see or read about. Our new foster child's aunt has offered her support and her families support in our new cause. She has thanked us for caring for her nephew and told us to our face how much she appreciates our help. Through this difficult and awkward experience, she is coming forward to support us.
We still miss Noelle with all our hearts and souls and we want her back with us everyday and every minute. However, we are so blessed to see all the good she has made happen in this vast world. She was truly our angel on earth and now in heaven. Thank you to all who have heard her message and have made it your job to continue what she has started.
Tonya, Dave and Tessa
