So sorry to hear about Naoma, we went to high school together. She was such a nice person and we tried to keep in touch over the years. I was in charge of our class reunions and tried to track everyone down after high school which sometimes wasn’t easy. She was a good person and her loss will be felt by many.
Naoma was my dearest high school friend. She was filled with goodness and sweetness. I will miss her but I’m glad she is no longer suffering. Hugs to her family.
Naoma was my neighbor and friend. We graduated from high school together. She will be missed. Prayers to her family.
Sorry to hear of Naoma Lynn’s passing. But I understand she’s had a rough time in the past few years. We haven’t kept in touch over the years but when we were young we enjoyed our time spent together. My mom was her grandmother on her daddy’s side of the family. I don’t know if either one of you girls ever got to know your great grandmother Laura Lynn Spence Vermillion Franklin Cunningham. Naomi was my niece and just 8 months older than me. She was always nice to me and always pretty.
Naomi was such a sweet person during our high school years. She truly was full of light and gladness. I am blessed to have known her.
Naomi was the sweetest person ever! I always think of her with a beautiful big smile, long blond hair and always a bright outlook on life. My condolences to her family, and to all who knew this kind and gracious lady, even for just a short time.
