Grandma;
You were taken so suddenly from me - of course, I am saddened that I didn't get to say goodbye but I want you to know that my life was richer because you were in it. Thank you for all the laughs, hugs, card whoopings, meals, slumber parties, shopping trips, phone calls, etc...the list goes on but most of all thank you for your love. I will hold it in my heart forever and ever.

Grandma Naomi - We didn't see each other often, but yet I have a lot of great memories of times we shared together when I visited Madison. Most of those times were so fun, and filled with so many laughs, that I can't even re-count them here. Often our goofing around got me laughing so hard I cried! Those memories warm my heart and those are the memories of you I will share with Sofia as she grows.
Love, Carla

I worked with Naomi when she was the Dept of Justice. She was the nicest person around, always had a twinkle in her eye, always ready to share laughter with others. An extremely hard worker,she was one of those people who others looked to for help.
She was an elegant woman, and had "class".She grew closer and closer to her family after retirement for which I am very grateful. She will be missed, but often remembered.
