Naomi was my classmate in elementary school and at Schurz all my memories of her have a common theme. She was always kind and willing to help people with her time and intelligence. Dennis Hogan

Naomi was a fellow Schurzite (high school in Chicago) and will be missed greatly. We had hopes that she would be able to attend our 50th reunion in 2005, but found out about her health situation at that time and understood why she was unable to attend.
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother and grandmother.
