Not sure what to say?

What a beautiful and kind lady. She touched so many with her love and grace. She touched all in whom she came in contact. I am so sorry for your loss Billy, family and friends. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. God bless you all and you are in my prayers. Barbara Wyatt, former Salem member.

Naomi was such a gentle kind woman. I always looked forward to seeing her at Lindbergh’s central office. I was so sorry to hear of her passing. My sincere sympathy to the Secoy family.

I have had the pleasure of attending Community Bible Study with Naomi for several years. What I loved about Naomi was her gentle and quiet manner along with her sweet smile. I will miss Naomi but look forward to spending eternity with this precious saint.

I have been blessed to have worked with Naomi and our friendship over the years will never be forgotten. She is truly one of the kindest human beings I have had the privilege to know. Always kind to all she encountered, never heard her say anything negative. She loved her dear family with all her heart. I will miss her but know God will provide. Prayers for all she left behind.

With my work, I was regularly in Lindbergh’s curriculum department, and Naomi was on the front line. I will always remember her inner light and the quiet kindness she showed to everyone around her.

She made a lasting...

How do I love thee, let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breathe and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight, for the ends of being and ideal grace. I love the to the level of every day's most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely as people strive for right; I love thee purely as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use in my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose with my...

I am so saddened to learn of Naomi's passing. Through my years at Lindbergh in a variety of positions I came to rely on her to provide me accurate, sound advice promptly. It is my pleasure to have worked with her.

Naomi was loved fiercely by her daughter Alison.
What a testimony her life left!
It was such a blessing to read about Naomi.
Our prayer are with all of you as Naomi goes home. May God give you comfort and peace.

Naomi's presence will be greatly missed. She was a light to all who knew her. She leaves a legacy of faith, service, and love.
