Naomi..Audrey introduced us and we always had long talks about our teaching careers...Naomi always spoke of her family, their doings, comings and goings. She was well groomed, well dressed and a real "lady."When she left Randolph, Audrey kept in touch and told me of Naomi's new life near family.So sorry...she was a "woman of valor" with her teaching and volunteering...she will be remembered always.
Sincerest sympathy to all the family,
