Naomi's children and Angela. I'm so sorry that your story took this awful turn. I had gotten to "know" your mother and aunt and actually all of you from Courttv message boards.
Your mother loved you all very much, and she is at peace with her God. You'll miss her of course, but take comfort that she feels no more pain or sorrow.
Hugs to you and your Aunt Angela. May God lead you everyday and hold you in His loving arms. Until the day you are reunited with your loving mother.

Naomi, I hope you can rest in peace knowing that your beautiful children are safe and secure in the loving family of Angela and Raymond.
Angela, I pray that the good Lord will guide you as you continue to fulfil Naomi's wishes for her children and while you go through the anguish of the trial.
Even though I've never met any of you, I feel I know you from your participation on the CTV board. Your hard work and dedication to finding Naomi and caring for the Heaven Sent 7 is admirable. God bless you all.
Naaomi's children, my deepest sympathy on the tragic loss of your mom. Remember that the best way to honour her is to live your lives to the best of your ability and know she will be with you forever.

I knew Naomi from the Dollar Store down the street. She was very caring and genuine and we would talk about our kids quite often. My heart and prayers go out to Angela and all the children and family. She is now an angel of Heaven who will be watching over you all. Bless all of you.

To the family and children:
I'm so sorry to hear about Naomi, I grew up with her brother Chuckie, and Naomi had come to one of my Halloween parties when I was little, she was so nice and always kind to everyone. It's not for us to understand why this happened but for us to have faith that God doesn't make any mistakes so he must have had a bigger plan for her. You all will be in my prayers.
Love, Shannon Jackson (formerly McGaughey) Urbana, Ill.

I am so sorry that Naomi was found this way. But, there is closure, and she is looking down at her "7 from Heaven" and blessing them and Angela every day. I did not know her - but like so many, came to know her from her family and friends.

Naomi, You and I were like sisters as we went through lifes ups and downs. I'll miss you terribly. It isn't fair, there's still so much more to say and do. I'm glad you taught me more about God, because it will take that and knowing you are there with Him, our moms and grandmas for me to be at peace about this mess. To Angela and Ray, you are definitely the rocks God had planted for our family. Thank you both very much. Mere words can't express how grateful I am. I pray God keeps you both in the palms of his hands. To my nieces and nephews, I'm sorry for your loss,I love you all dearly and if you need me, I'll be there. Love, Aunt Carrie
