[http://www.maui.net/~mauinews/nrxintob.htm](http://www.maui.net/~mauinews/nrxintob.htm) Our family is getting along pretty well now. We still talk a lot about Naomi. The yournger children sometimes speculate what she’s doing in heaven at the moment. We mailed information to the Maui News. Naomi was born on Maui. The next day I got an E-mail from classmates from someone who remembered me at my school. It is nice to see that in a tragedy like Naomi’s death, that such good can come out in people. The Ronald McDonald house has mailed us countless notes of donations. Even to boys at my work who are mostly sociopathic have been very supportive. Take care all Roadwalker ---

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathies and prayers. With the other children you’ve been blessed with, I am sure that in your large nest you provided a wonderful six years for your daughter. This is little comfort, I’m sure, but it is something I admire. ---

I hope my actions are not out of line. Slee ---

Roadwalker, I lost my sister to cancer, just a week before your angel passed away. We talk about Anne all the time, laughing, sometimes crying, but keeping the memories in our hearts. What brings me great solace is that Anne is out of her pain and in a wonderful place. My best wishes to your family as you carry on. ---

Roadwalker, know also this: as many people saw and have poured their support and good thoughts and sympathy into the previous threads about Naomi’s passage out of suffering, the very nature of the net means that many, many more saw and were affected too deeply to speak at the time. I was one of them; at the time any words I could find felt utterly and hopelessly clumsy in my hands. I’m sure the same remains true for this one. Take care, and heal well. ---

Your all are the greateast online friends anyone could have. The Address for the L.A.Ronald McDonald house is: **Ronald McDonald House** **4560 Fountain Avenue** **Los Angeles, CA 90029** My 4 year old daughter wore one of Naomi’s nightgowns tonight. It’s a good and sad feeling both. Roadwalker ---
