When St. Francis died, he asked that his Canticle of Creation be sung by those who loved him and by those with whom he worked. Nearing the end of his canticle he added this final stanza:
Praise Be You, my Lord for Sister Death,
from whom no living being can escape.
Blessed are those whom death finds
in Your Most Holy will,
for the second death shall do them no harm . . .
Let us continue to remember
the Noonan family in our prayers.
