I know Naomi from the dances at the Rec Center, & she was the sweetest little angel & so pretty. I will never forget her smile, Rest In Peace sweetpea .
Naomi was a camper at Easter Seals Camp Winfield. She was an amazing girl who shone so brightly at camp. We will miss her smile, love of singing, and genuine care for each person that she met.
I will miss Naomi’s smiling face and bright attitude…
Naomi warmed my heart each and everyday that I knew her at RSS. She was a student in my Planning class in grade 10 and we connected each and every day for a moment to exchange a smile and a joke. I will hold her in my heart and know that she continues to be a ray of sunshine for all to enjoy. Kisses sweet girl. Miss T
I knew Naomi from our many chats at RSS. She truly shone from within and blessed us all with her daily courage. As a teacher, I learned a lot from Naomi.
Naomi and I met in high school and became great friends. We talked all the time on Facebook and we would see eachother at the college. She was a great girl with such a loving and caring personality. She put smiles on the faces of everyone she met. I will miss her dearly.
I worked with Naomi at Okanagan College for the past 1 1/2 yrs. She loved to talk to everyone she met and show them her high school grad photo album. She never forgot a name or a face. She loved going to the Friday night dances at PRC and the occasional Rockets and Warriors games! I will miss her smiling face and caring heart…
May Naomi rest in peace knowing her presence on earth made a difference and may her stories not be too long-winded for the angels 🙂 No longer in our vision but forever in our hearts
I knew Naomi from the dances at Parkinson Rec. She was always such a kind and engouraging person, a real light in life. We even had a song which I felt necesarry to put on Facebook to honour our final promise «Next time we’ll dance together for sure.» Naomi always put a smile on my face and made me laugh. Naomi, this one’s for you girl!!
we met in the doctor’s office the other day and you told me of your beautiful daughter Naomi and her picture was in the paper today so had to tell you how sorry I am for you and your family.God be with you
I always remeber Naomi with compassante thoughts She seemed to always put a smile on any ones face no matter how sad or mad they were. Naomi and i go way back to middle school.

Naomi Was a remarkable person who had a wonderful set of dreams and goals or her self sometimes i wish i could be as stronge wild as she is. Naomi you have a special spot in my heart and i will always be thinking of you Rest in peace angel I love you

Naomi was a very cheery girl, I will miss not seeing her smiling face at the Friday night dances. She & I went to RSS, and rode Barry’s bus together. Katie Biggs
From RSS, Naomi, me and Mr Alexander.
Naomi was wonderful girl with a ready smile and always eager to chat and laugh. I remember her visible joy when she returned from watching the ParaOlympics proudly waving the white gloves she had worn to hold the Olympic medals.
Naomi taught me the true meaning of resilience. Thank you Naomi.
I am so sorry to hear about Naomi and her sudden passing. I know she is smiling from above us in a beautiful and peaceful place. She was a bright light and always such a positive influence in my life when I met her through my work and interactions with the Rutland Boys & Girls Club. She will continue to be loved in our hearts and always remembered! God bless xoxo
It seemed like yesterday that I ran into Naomi downtown strolling with her mother.She always welcomed me with open arms like a forever freind – and that she will forever be, in my heart (even though my demands on her, as her school Physiotherapist,often seemed too difficult to her!)
Her tears brought me to tears,yet her smile took me to Heaven.What a blessing she was to us all.
Susan Quirk is away at present,but I’m sure shares all my thoughts and much more.
I remember Naomi from Elementary,Middle and High School.I do so with a smile on my face and I thank her for that! She always had a story for me and we could always find something to giggle about. She had such a love of life and spread it throughout all that she met. I will miss that chatterbox. I hope the hockey games are just as good where you are now Naomi!!
My Heart goes out to the Larson Family. Naomi was a very happy young lady and so full of life she will be forever in my heart RIP sweetheart.
As Naomi’s mother, I would to sincerely thank everyone for their kind words and condolences. I look forward to celebrating Naomi’s life with you at her memorial tomorrow.
We are all so saddened by your unexpected departure – you are so sadly missed by all – you brought sunlight and joy to all the lives that you touched – much love – Pauline will be waiting for you Love Christine
I, as will many others, miss Naomi’s smiling face at the dances. She always brought such joy and love everywhere she went. I know she and her love is still all around us and always will be. All we have to do is think of her, wrap our arms around ourselves and that will be the hug from her. 🙂
Love Marianne Crabb
