Remembering Naomi
I’m remembering Naomi and the impact she had on my youth. Her gently, kind leadership and her whole family are woven into nearly every community memory throughout my teen years. I appreciate her life and deeply appreciate what she shared in her lifetime – especially her family.
Naomi was one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever known. Always a smile on her pretty face. Am so sorry to learn of her passing. Had her make several wreaths over the years. Prayers for George and her family.
Fly high our dear friend
Our thoughts and prayers are with Naomi’s beautiful family at this sad and difficult time. Naomi has been an amazing friend, always sharing a bright smile and pure kindness. She will be truly missed. She has meant so much to me and I am heartbroken.
It was a pleasure to have known Naomi. Sincere condolences to all the family.
