From Noah's Carepage- written by his Mother.

"Our Angel

After a long battle with Stage IV Neruorblastoma cancer, Monday morning at 8:02 AM, Noah Biorkman passed away at his home in South Lyon, Michigan.

Scott and I, along with our families, would like to thank everyone for the continued support over the past few years during Noah’s illness. As most of you know, Noah has received more than one million Christmas cards over the past few weeks. The outpouring of love and compassion has been remarkable and we are extremely grateful. We are now asking for everyone please respect our privacy during this very difficult time. The funeral services will be for family only. We are asking that instead of sending cards and flowers to Scott and me; please make a donation in Noah’s name to either of the organizations below. With your donation, Noah’s legacy will live on for many years to come, if not forever.

Thank you so much for your support and love.

Sincerely,
The Biorkman Family

I heard about that. I never did get a chance to send a card, I guess I just thought he had more time (but then I also saw another article dated earlier where his parents had asked people to stop sending anyway).  I feel so bad for him and for his family.  Poor little guy. :(

I already have my Christmas decorations up, just a few finishing touches to go and then I'm going to take a picture and send it in for Dax, another little boy who may not make it to Christmas.  http://decoratefordax.com/

Its really heartbreaking. :(
