My heart goes out to the family she was such a wonderful person and so talented we talked just a couple of months ago at the library and she was gracious as usual. She often shared her knowledge with me to help me this was who she was always helping someone who needed it and her support for people and her city was overwhelming. My heart is hurting right now and I am tearing up now just talking about her, missing her forever, see you on the other side Queen.

To the Family of Naomi ,

Our prayers and condolences to you as you endure the loss of your sister, sister-in-love, aunt, and friend. Naomi leaves a legacy which was preceded and motivated by her mother's DIVINE WORKS on earth. She proudly continued the course of taking charge to continue the programs, civic duties, and scholarship endeavors of her mother, Dolly. Naomi is now a PROUD HEAVENLY ANGEL who stands by her mother's side as two of GOD'S DUTIFUL SERVANTS. And by GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY, we pray for your continued support from each other and our HEAVENLY FATHER as you go forth knowing that there is JOY IN THE MORNING.

Naomi was a talented woman and I'll not forget the last time I saw her. I opened the door, and there she was, and that picture, surreal, has stayed in my head. She was a remarkable woman, for me, awe inspiring.
Naomi was a gift to all of Gary, young and old alike. Her death has left a great big empty space which none can fill. We mourn with her family, for we all have lost a treasure.
