Thoughts and prayers are with Big John, Sally and all the family. Naomi was a beautiful lady inside and out. So glad I got a chance to visit with her a few weeks ago. May she rest in peace and enjoy reuniting with loved ones!
My heart is heavy as this breaks my heart. I am thinking of you all as you go through this tough time. I love you all and my God bless each of you through this time in your lives .
I was very saddened to read about the news of Naomi! So very sorry John Cheryl and Chuck! She was always so much fun being around. Growing up and having the opportunity to get to know her through the years was a real pleasure. Be comforted in knowing that she is now in a much better place. Thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this most difficult time.
I am so sorry to hear of Naomi’s passing. She has been my neighbor for most of my life! She was a wonderful woman and I will miss her!
