Brenda, I am so sorry to read of your loss of your Mom's sister.. I knew immediately, when I saw her picture, who she was. You look very much like her. Even though I did not know her, I know how you feel. All of my aunts are gone and I like you miss them. Giving perms and learning to sew and teaching me new recipes

My “Aunt Naomi†(my mother’s sister). I have such great memories of playing with my cousins at their house, my mom giving her perms, she giving my mom perms, hanging out at the flower shop and her making my wedding beautiful with her gift of arranging flowers.
Although I miss her, I would not want her back here. She is where her heart has been calling her since the deaths of Donald and Gene Randall. She is reunited with them and others that she so dearly loved. Aunt Naomi, we love you and will see you soon.
