Naom
From babysitting me when I was 5 to fond and loving memories at 75, I am grateful and blessed to have had you I’m my life as a constant and loving “big sister”.
Where could the time have possibly gone?
You have left the world a better place than you found it and you will truly be missed. Love you always Sis!
Your little brother, Kenny
Naomi was always a positive, supportive influence in my life. The love story of her and my Uncle Gaston a wonderful example of consideration and true caring for each other.
She gave me my “brother” Scott and was always a great listener & confidant. Saying I will miss her is vague, it’s like losing my Mom all over again. I will always love and pray for you Aunt Naomi. The only solace is that I know you and Uncle Gaston are together again and forever young 💕
Naomi we made such a connection when we met. That moment it wasn’t just a new frie d but a new family member. We will miss you so much but we will meet again.we are surrounded by your love always. God rest your soul and Memory Eternal.
