  1. So tragic.

    Hopefully, are young people stop to realize how important they are to their families, their friends, and the community and know that suicide is never the answer.

  2. I’m so sorry to hear it was a suicide.

    Tragic indeed.

    Praying for her, as well as her family and loved ones.

  3. There have always been suicides, but I suspect there’s far more today ….. and far more involving young people these days, than there ever were.

    Something is clearly wrong w/ American society.

  4. She didn’t deserve this…

    She was so amazing.

    Rest in paradise Noelle…

  5. My deepest condolences to the Hohertz and Zajac families.

    No words can truly express my sorrow for your loss.

    Heaven has another angel.
