  2. I’m sitting here currently on night shift; thinking of all the joy that one little girl passed on to me.

    Big love to you Nomesy, the Warranmbool Flyer. Thanks for the advice on where to go when I was down in Warrni with my girlfriend, and forever teasing me on not being able to colour in the lines… I’m only human, but you are an angel.

    Rest easy mate, save me a seat and I’ll be sure to catch up with you soon <3

  3. Beautiful dearest girl Naomi, we think about you and Talk about you still and we will continue to do so for the rest of our lifes until we meet again in heaven.

    In my vision, you are in heaven and rejoicing in your freedom to running around like you were suppose to be doing here on this earth..

    You will never be Forgotten, we will keep you close to our hearts
    You have prayed for us all the time and blessed us on this earth, and we know you will continue to do so there in heaven to help us, guide us through our lives
    As always we are thankful for your prayers and we continue to think about our beautiful memories UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN in heaven.

    Dear Anna & Andrew,
    if it wasn’t for Naomi’s testimony in this life we would not have been able to meet in this life. God has reasons, plans and purpose in all things.
    Knowing your family and watching your journey over the years, i can only say wow! God doesn’t make mistakes when choosing the parents. You both have done an amazing job for beautiful soul Naomi. But now he has decided it’s his time to watch over her. Well done to you both as a parents.

    We love you all and stand with you in this sad times 🙏🙏🙏

  5. To the very Dear Philpot family, – The beautiful souls who I am so honored to know, – Anna, Andrew, James, and Levi; and all of Naomi’s extended family, and, dear friends of Naomi, and all who have had the joy and immense benefit of Naomi’s presence. – I cannot possibly express the qualities and depths of my own sorrow, and my feelings of love for all of you; and especially, of course, for our exquisite Naomi herself. I had the privilege of meeting Naomi when she was 5 years old, and our last time together was in the summer of this year,at the market in Port Fairy. Naomi grabbed my hand and off we went! – into the wonders and joy of the market, chatting together non-stop, skipping in time, and both beaming – Naomi leading us into wonderful adventures… With Naomi, It was always so much fun, in the moment, full of colour and surprise, and bathed in sheer love. And real, and true.
    Naomi, I cannot express to you how sad I am, and how much I am going to miss you.
    You changed me for the better, and I am sure that this is true for every person who was blessed to meet you. The rainbows, butterflies, and colors are more enriched now for all of us here, – and for me, the rainbows belong to you. I can continue to meet with you, every time I see a rainbow. I can talk with you, and tell you that I love you, and I can thank you for your friendship. Love, Amanda. xxx

  6. Naomi will be the person who showed me how to be quiet and to do what you need to without to much fuss…to celebrate when you can…
    thank you from a diabetes educator who was touched by you!

    The connections we make in the course of life – maybe that’s what heaven is…

Shine bright Miss Naomi- I know you will. Much love to you all x

  9. What a special young lady. Naomi you captured many hearts and your gentle way was so powerful. I know you’re dancing in heaven having a wonderful time twirling and leaping….nothing is holding you back! Not even gravity!

    Anna, Andrew, James and Levi, you loved and cared for Naomi so much. You guys are amazing. God values all your care and love for her and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. You are champions, true champions of love and care.

    I hope you feel God’s peace and comfort in this time, and know in the depths of your hearts that she is in heaven having a wonderful time, way beyond what we could even dream of here on earth.

    We are thinking and praying for you in this sad time of grief. The hole she leaves here is substantial….. my heart is so sad for you all.

    To Naomi my little dancing partner, we won’t forget you! Thank you for being a mighty woman. Way beyond what we can comprehend with our earthly eyes.

    Much love and blessings,

  13. Our dearest, sweetest, beautiful, precious and courageous Naomi, you have fought a great fight! We are so so proud of you!

    It was extremely painful and heartbreaking to lose you…words could not explain nor express our feelings for you. Every news of your treatments and operations have given me, uncle Ed, grandma and grandpa Heartaches and Pains. We felt for you & your parents and brothers. Since your passing I had to hold back my emotions at work as my small patients reminded me of you…
    It is painful to say goodbye, but we are also glad that you are in the good hands of our lord Jesus Christ and Mother Mary; pain free and with a bright new adventure ahead of you that is full of joy, happiness and with a healthy body!
    You are and always will be the sweetest Angel in our hearts who are so loving, kind, courteous, artistic, brave and cheerful!
    I will continue to complete my plan that I had planned for you before COVID (visit to the Hello Kitty Land – now, in your memory).

    Anna, Andrew, James and Levi our deepest & heartfelt condolences to you all for the passing of the sweetest Naomi. You all have done a great job & no one could have done it better! We are proud of you and you are our pride!
    Thank you for being so resilience and strong, especially to my dearest sister Anna who has dedicated so much to Namio’s care
    and well-being. Andrew, thank you for being a loving, supportive and caring father & spouse to Naomi and Anna.
    James & Levi, thank you for being a loving and super brothers to Naomi and supportive sons to your parents in various ways. May the Father our God, Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit & Mother Mary, Bless and Protect you all, and grant you all with good health & strength in this trying time.
    Love you all dearly…

    Sweet Naomi, Thank You for spending the 12 memorable and wonderful years with us! Do enjoy Heaven and say Hi and give your warmest hugs for me to your great grandparents!
    Love you heaps and countless, till we meet again ❤️

  20. What joy it has been to get to know Naomi. Her boundless love and faith were an example and lesson for us all. She won, she is home, she is victor!
    In Christ it is always win-win. We either win in the short term or we win in the long term, sometimes both. There is no losing in Jesus, He never loses; we just have a skewed perspective here in this realm that sometimes blocks the win-win perspective. Jesus has already won the victory and Anna, Andrew, James, Levi and Naomi are all victors in Christ. The pain is really, really rough at times both physically and emotionally, but it isn’t a loss or defeat. The enemy is the loser and we are the winners, all the time and every time.
    “Our eyes are one Your Lord, Author and perfector of our faith. We do not mourn as those who have no hope; thank You for this Lord. Please use Naomi and the Philpot’s example to bring many sons and daughters to glory.”

  25. Threnody for Naomi.

    There are occasions where,
    dumbfounded and confounded, completely at a loss.
    All we can do is sit and stare,
    into a void that reaches so far from us, to, it seems,
    never ending, to Infinity.
    With the question that hangs before our eyes,
    the words dance before our eyes: “Why me? Why now? Why her?”
    There’s never been a doubt as to
    just where you stood regarding all those travesties
    of injustice that fill
    the every day;
    And we wonder why bad things would seem to happen to those,
    who simply try to ‘do good’ and ‘be good’?

    And where in this, is there God? A God of Love?
    who watches suffering? Is that His intention?
    Whatever happened to Divine Intervention?
    And If He’s “out there”……somewhere? Can you feel it? Closer through the burning pain, and hollow ache, than ever before; feel all-embracing arms, as warm, loving warmth remains, true understanding of the tearful pain and more.
    I can feel it in the shadow of the dark impenetrable night. You see? I begin to understand. Sweet Naomi has gone home! Home to infinite peace and love, the last tear wiped away. Home to her heavenly Father, and heavenly brother; who suffered on the cross, for us. And so where do my tears and heartache lead? For Naomi will be waiting, having prepared for that sacred moment; when we, too, cross time and space, breathed our last, and join her, there, in that Heavenly place.
    Together we will all celebrate. Father, Son, Christian Family having all walked through those Heavenly Gates and greeted by Saint Peter’s welcoming smile. Once more together, this time for ever, Amen.

  30. A tribute to Naomi, who kept her word and never gave up, thought about others and their needs, championed the work of Royal Children’s, and loved Jesus who she shares her heavenly home and perfect life with now.
    And a tribute to dear Anna and Andrew, who God chose to entrust Naomi to for her life on earth while He prepared everything for her eternal life with Him. He chose you because He had prepared you and knew you would be the perfect earthly parents to provide all the care and love Naomi needed. No-one could have done it better. You are champions too.
    With all our love
    Denis and Leanne

    Denis and Leanne June 3, 2022

  41. Naomi was a beautiful girl who met you with a smile. Her joy was to share Jesus with you and her hope of being healed. Naomi is healed and whole with her precious saviour Jesus. She’s free to dance, sing, play, move and create in the glorious majesty of heaven. Oh how we long to have her here but we know where she is, that’s far better. So we fix our eyes on Jesus and fight the good fight, until it’s our turn to meet our creator. Be like Naomi and accept Jesus’ invitation to come and follow Him. His path leads to victory. Naomi you are triumphant!
