Lyneace and Family, I am so very sorry for this great loss. I did not know your Mom personally, but the character of you Lyneace speaks volumes of the woman she was. I wish I had the opportunity to meet her in person. She is truly a strong pillar and a great example to all. May the beauty memories you shared live in your hearts and minds forever.

Lyneace, all our thoughts and prayers are with you as you endure the days ahead without the earthly presence of your beloved mother. Your enthusiasm for life and care of others always gives us a beautiful example of the wonderful person your mother was in your life and the life of so many others. Her obituary is a beautiful depiction of the kind heart she had and the one you display daily. Big hugs, we’re here for you in full support. xo, Jennifer / FAA

Sending prayers and condolences to her family and friends . Naomi was rare gem. Her kindness will be remembered . She always had a smile, a piece of advice or a good joke to share. She was one of the best cooks on Ohio Avenue . My favorite was her barbeque and homemade ice cream.
Rest in peace Naomi. Thanks for the good memories .
