Though I did not know Naomi until much later in her life I do recall the following..... When David and I would visit her she was always so interested in "what you were doing". She was fully engaged in what you had to say and she was so present in the moment. David spoke so fondly of Naomi and was so excited to introduce me to (Stevie's Mom!) He adored and respected her as an independent woman and a lady.
With love, Wendy
