The day before Dr. Nolen passed away, he was in my heart a lot. I was on a walk and saw a magical swirl of leaves as tall as I am (5’10) just swirling and swirling in one place. It was so cool that I walked into it as it swirled around me. Now when I see any leaves ever swirling around like that, I’m always so happy to think of his spirit. Watching over you, his family, his old patients, and our community.

Beautiful words! I am so grateful for Dr. Nolen and his impact on me. His legacy will most definitely live on through you, your wonderful kids, and all the other people he impacted. The headstone is beautiful and a great tribute to a great man! Love and prayers!!!

Love to you all, the year of firsts has passed, but His love remains always. I think that his handwriting forever on the headstone is amazing.

Love you all! Keeping you in our prayers!

John’s life wasn’t nearly as long as we wanted it to be. But it sure could not have been any BIGGER. We can only hope we each get to take and leave that much love. We miss him. We love you all!

Beautiful words! A year has past. Prayers continue for you and the family!💕

I didn't know Dr. Nolen well (I went to him once) but followed your journey from the beginning. I continue to pray for you and your family. What a beautiful legacy Dr. Nolen has left with his family and friends.

Beautifully said Robyn. 🩵 John will never be forgotten and your sweet family continues to shine his light. Much love to you all.

Prayers for y'all, especially on this anniversary. John was such a great force in the community, and I know his love for his family was a big part of his life.

Beautiful Robyn ❤️ I know John is so proud of you
