I extend my deepest sympathies to the Noeida Castro’s family. Their loss is greater than most can imagine. Her loving heart was the center of their daily lives. It was known and felt with our family, thousands of miles away. Noeida sacrificed all she knew and all her possessions to leave her country of birth to give her family a better life. The Castro family knows how precious family is and has held each other in a closeness that few have the appreciation or the prospective to know. There is now a void that needs to be filled by the gathering of family and loved ones with the same loving passion that came so naturally to Noeida. She gave every moment of her life to her husband, brothers and sisters, children, and grandchildren. She lived a full and joyful life. Her gift is all the beautiful, funny, comforting, inspiring, loving moments that will live in the memories of everyone that she touched. Noeida’s ever-present nurturing character leaves a legacy that will be permanently implanted in current and future generations. We were all lucky to have her. She has done her work here. It’s time to appreciate her life and the love that she so freely gave.

To the family: Sorry about Noedia passing.Noedia was a blessing to us many times as she and Otto visited our Church and attended my Bible class. She always exhibited a gentle and caring heart even after her terrible accident several years ago. God spared her life to continue her blessings upon the family. Now, Noedia is completely healed walking and running the streets of gold with Jesus. Hallelujah! As believers, we will see her again. Oh the joy that will be!
