Izzy's son Noah....TWO RAFFLES TONIGHT...New Thread will be started

[Terry Green]

I want to thank those that have emailed and called me wanting to help.  I have replied to everyone at this time...we will be doing something when the time is right.  Again, not sure what or how, but we will figure it out and we will make a post about our plans.

Please remember Noah in your thoughts and prayers.  I can't even imagine me at 15 having to deal with this.

Thanks again, the membership of TradGang never ceases to amaze me.

Great Terry.

In the mean time per the Time Warner Cable News....

LATHAM, N.Y. --A father who lost his son after a battle with cancer is giving back to Noah Roman this weekend.

Tim Stowell says his late son Ben was Noah's best friend. Ben died at the age of 9 from pediatric cancer. Stowell says Noah spoke at his son's funeral.

This weekend Stowell was in the process of holding a bowling fundraiser in his son's honor to raise money for pediatric cancer research, but decided to give all of the proceeds to Noah Roman instead.

"I just think that it's important that if Noah sees or hears this that he knows there's a huge community that's reached out to him through this event and messages that we love him and have his back," said Stowell.  

The fundraiser will take place at Spare Time bowling in Latham Sunday starting at 2 p.m. It will run until 4:30 p.m.

Thanks for keeping us informed.

I'm in when the time comes.

This has preyed upon my thoughts since I heard here. Whether we know those involved or not (I did not have the pleasure), the human tragedy is unfathomable.

We are more fragile and vulnerable than we realize.

[GRAYBEARD]

Let us know when it is time to move. We'll take care of our own as well as we can. What a nightmare for the boy.

[J. Cook]

Wow - Noah lost his best friend and now has to deal with this unexplainable tragedy.  

My heart is broken for that young man.  Terry, I have no doubt you will put something special in play for this, and we will be here to support the effort.

Will keep Noah in my prayers.

Prayers sent for Noah

Godbless you Noah during this terrible tragic time ..I wish I lived closer for a the young mam there's always a open door and  I am sure he could use the comfort and healing

[Sawpilot 75]

This young man is in our thoughts and prayers here. It's hard to imagine how he must be feeling.

[Doc Nock]

Survivor Guilt haunts those from the battle field.

How does one navigate this mentally at his age?

He's going to need a lot of counseling I'd guess...

Prayers abound...

We are all family here.

This has been weighing so heavily on me the last two days perhaps because I have kids Izzy's age and grandchildren Izzy's children's age. He comes from good stock and will survive this with help from relatives, friends and community.

[smokin joe]

Most kids will never know the depth of tragedy that Noah is living through right now. Anything that we can do that will help him pick up the pieces of his life -- well, that is what we should do because it is the right thing to do, and if any of our children were ever in his situation we would all want the help of decent loving people for our child.

When the time comes I know we will all be there for him.

[YORNOC]

Just reading this,
first time in a long while a tear has come to my eyes.
Will do whatever I can.

I'm in, I owed his father a huge debt of gratitude, I suppose I owe Noah now!
