Ronnie and the Elder Family, You are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that God will strenghten you and may he find a comforting place in your hearts. "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Aunt Naomi will truly be missed. The chances I got to see her was very enjoyable. She always wanted to feed you when you came to see her because this was the loving way about her. Being around her was like being around my mother because there were things about her that was similar to my mother. I could feel my mother's presence through her. My prayers to the family (Delores, Phyllis, George, Ronnie and their families. God bless you all as He welcomes her in Heaven.
