Naomi was a wonderful Lady! I used to enjoy visiting with her when I sold Avon products. She would always show me her beautiful flowers and talk to me about things that mattered to her. I know she will be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with her family she leaves behind at this sad time. Dorothy Martin
