I know that down the road we will see each other again. Glad to hear she had a wonderful life for a wonderful person. Love to you Naomi.

Oh sweet cousin.....how glad I am that you are finally healed and in your new body in Heaven!! Paul & Sandy, Ryan & Betty, I am praying for the emptiness you feel in the loss of your sweet sister. I know there is rejoicing in Heaven with your Dad and my Dad and Mom that another family member has come home. To Naomi's children, what a wonderful legacy your mother left you with her steadfast faith in the Lord and her refusal to let Satan have the victory over her situation for even one moment! You have the responsibility to honor her by following in her footsteps.....footsteps that lead to her personal relationship with her Lord and Savior. I pray God will comfort your hearts and remind you of all the good memories she left behind. We all loved her so!

Naomi was a special, caring person. She loved the Lord, her family, and was kind to everyone she met. I am not saying goodbye to my cousin because I know I will see her again. I know heaven is sweeter because she is there. She joined my mom and dad. I loved her. When I was going through a tough time, she traveled to NC to encourage me. Her compassion will always be an inspiration to me.

Naomi was such an inspiration to us all as she bravely went to Women to Women and Shandon Baptist until she simply could not any longer. She always was so full of faith and her light was definitely not ever kept under a table. I will miss her and will not forget her beautiful countenance. She is in God's hands now. God bless you, the family.

Dear Breedlove family, Naomi was a precious friend! I loved her with all of my heart. She called me her "spiritual baby" because she led me to Christ at a young age and was always there for me. My heart breaks but I know that she is in her happy place with the Lord and with your Dad again! Love all of you.

Naomi was an amazing inspiration to all of us. She was the brightest of the bright stars in God's universe and always expressed concern for other peoples issues and concerns while deflecting attention from her own health issues. We will all be blessed to have a strong advocate now that she has joined our heavenly Father. Susan and Leo Sassani

To all the friends and family of Naomi, I would say that whenever I saw her in
the Sunday School class at Shandon Bapt. Church, she always pointed us to Christ and demonstrated her total faith in Him. She consistently pointed people to Jesus. I know that she brought God's blessing to many over the
years and we all can rejoice in her faithful life. The Lord has called her home and we all can trust in His timing even as we sorrow with Hope!
