Sad that its true, thank you for the opportunity of a life time you gave me as a great boss to work under. You always lead by the foot upfront and I'll always be grateful for that. X

I can't help but think about the words Jules shared at the celebration of life of what Noel said when asked what advice he would leave with his children........ BE KIND. Wow, how powerful those two words are, and how wonderful that those words are Noels legacy to his children. 

Wise words Noel. You are a good man, and will be remembered with love by so many that crossed paths with you!

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
by Mary Elizabeth Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Saying goodbye is heartbreaking. Hold tight to your family and friends, because life is too short. I wish I could have had more time to spend with Noel. I am so gracious for the time we did have and especially for the message he sent to me from heaven.

Noel, you have been an inspiration to all of us . As a man of stature, you lived a life that has been remembered by many of great strength and wisdom. Your smile was contagious. 
Your love and passion for life will live on in the hearts of your dear AnneMarie and Children.
Our days together were few but it was a monumental time that we cherish and are grateful for.  With the greatest respect for all you have done and shared we pray daily for our souls to be united .  Seeing you in all the moves will be our mini miracle. God Bless you and all your family and friends with faith , hope and love
 xoxo Much Love,  John , Mary, Ana, Chris and Christopher .

I have been very fortunate to have met Anne-Marie and Noel, my neighbours at Amity Point, and from initial chats walking past on the way to the beach , it has been wonderful to get to know their family. It's been clear to me from the start that the Stoyles are wonderful, kind and friendly people with a strong sense of family and community. And while it was with great sadness that I learnt of Noel's illness, I could also see how strong the love was in the family during this time. I was planning to attend Noel's service at his beloved Stradbroke Island today but unfortunately need to be in isolation. What I can do though is send them all my love and prayers during this difficult and sad time. Julie XXX

I have only met Noel a handful of times, but in the time I knew him I could see he was a gentle, kind and loving family man with a beautiful heart and that is also reflected in his loving wife and children. Rest in eternal peace Noel. All my love Stoyles family today and always x

Such a beautiful tribute and an amazing and beautiful Family. Brought me to tears. Our thoughts and prayers are with All of you during this most difficult time. So grateful for the Christmas a few years ago to be able to meet this most extraordinary and special man!! All of our Love Always, Angela , Joel , Jake and Jon xoxo
