Our deepest sympathy to you, Ralph, and your family on the loss of your beloved Naomi. Naomi was such a wonderful lady who always had a smile on her face. We were so blessed to have known her and will miss her dearly.
We will all miss Naomi. Her spirit and joy of life will live on in her family and friends!
Ralph & Family,
I was so saddened to see of Naomi’s passing. I enjoyed her visits to the store over the last 35 years. She reminded me of my own mother! I think we talked more about our families than the item she was looking for. I’ll miss her, and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dear Ralph and family, I wish I could be in Minnesota to personally reach out and touch you, or look you direct in the eyes and tell you how much I care. Naomi and you are such dear friends to my parents and our family. With sincere thoughts and prayers, love Kim Markling (oldest daughter of Walt and Pat Markling)
I thought so much of Naomi. What a great lady. Hold on to all your good memories and may they bring you comfort now. You are all in my thoughts & prayers today.

We are so sorry to hear of Naomi’s passing.
