saysMy son Diego has Noonan syndrome ptpn11. My family has met Dr. Noonan a couple of times at the conferences. Words cannot express how grateful I am for all of the work she has done for the community which has directly helped my family. Thank you so much!

saysI’m heartbroken. Our Dr Noonan has passed away. I’ll never forget the first time I met her I was in awe. Here was the woman who discovered the syndrome I was born with. It was incredible, but then it got better. I had the privilege of traveling with her overseas. Not once, but twice. Amazing again. No one could help her with her luggage or anything of that sort. She walked so fast in the airport I had trouble keeping up. I said wait Dr Noonan remember I have Noonans. She laughed and said catch up. We shared many personal stories and moments. Had many many laughs. She had a beautiful voice and was in a choir. I remember as we traveled we would sing a few songs together. While in the Netherlands one Sunday just Dr Noonan and myself went to mass. It was very special. We shared so much during that walk to and from the church. I can almost hear our conversation now. All of this is so personal and such a treasure I will always have. Sending my love to her family.

saysDr. Noonan was a very special person. I started working for her in 1972 when I was 19 years old and continued doing so for 40 years in one fashion or another. Needless to say, she was excellent to work for and I was proud to be associated with her. She was an excellent pediatric cardiologist who put her patients before anything else and loved traveling eastern Kentucky to keep track of those who couldn't come to UK. My sympathy to the family. She will be greatly missed.
