Naomi was truly a angel. I was young boy when I was left with them for a while. She took care of me like her own. As a man I look back to some hardships I had as kid and Ill tell you what that women always went out of her way to try to put a smile on my face. God bless The zwickers. Im sorry for your loss.

The first of May 2019 I was visiting in McElmo, and thought I would stop by to visit Sheldon. Naomi met me at their door, and let me know Sheldon was working cattle at the "Old Ben Stevenson" place. She was so kind just like when I visited Sheldon several years ago. Well, I didn't get to see Sheldon, but have pleasant memories of seeing Naomi. Blessings to the family. I was trying to remember that I had heard of Naomi's death, but living over a thousand miles away I had to check online to see if the rumor was correct. I am saddened to find that Naomi indeed pass away. So sorry.

She was a beautiful woman, inside and out and her compassion for others was amazing. She brought a young Navajo boy to my Job Corps office and tried in every way possible to help him. The world is a better place because she was in it.
