Fresh hot homemade muffins was our introduction to Naomi's thoughtfulness and generosity. Our first morning of living on Cove Creek, she brought those to us for breakfast. Years of shared dinners, stories, card games and time spent cemented a relationship that we'll miss for the rest of our lives. Big love to all of her family and friends who have lost her.
