Happy Birthday to Mom and Grandma.
We love you and are thinking of you even as you are living in heaven.
I wanted to do something to recognize my mother today. She was a great woman and loved by all. She was such a good example for me to follow. She was a great wife, mother, teacher, sister, and friend. I am thankful she taught me to bake bread, can fruit, cook, sew, quilt and many other skills. One of her talents that she has left us with is her writing. She wrote many poems, stories and letters. I will share one below the pictures.
I didn't have time to scan many pictures, but here's just a couple. Please feel free to leave your comments or memories of Naomi on this site.

Mom often sent special birthday poems to her loved ones. They meant more than the Hallmark cards. Here's a birthday poem that she sent to her father, Albert Wagstaff one year. (click on the image to enlarge.)
