Happy Birthday My Little Love!

Naomi would be 2 years old this May. Let’s celebrate her birthday together!
Join the Naomi Storykeepers Club!
Who is Naomi?
She is the daughter of Nick and Jessi Summers. She was stillborn on her nerdy due date, May 4th, 2024. She is their oldest daughter. During her time on the inside, she often swam the amniotic seas and earned the nickname SeaMonkey from her loving parents. She is frequently missed, and her absence is noted across all settings. Her parents were looking forward to changing poopy diapers and losing years of their lives to lack of sleep. They also miss the fact that they will never hear her giggle or call them “Pa” and “Mommy”.
What is a storykeeper?
Well, Jessi (Naomi’s mom) watched an animated show about people who kept Jesus’ stories alive even after he ascended. So, she thinks it is fitting to see herself as Naomi’s storykeeper since Naomi is not around to share her story. A storykeeper cherishes and shares someone else’s story since they cannot do so themselves. We are all storykeepers, and we hope you keep Naomi’s story alive with us.
Why Naomi? youtube.com/watch?v=qMkaE3C1JAk&list=RDqMkaE3C1JAk&start_radio=1 This video is Naomi’s song; she is named after an incredible woman in the Old Testament (her name means pleasant, which her parents prayed she would be). Naomi is someone whose devotion to God was lived out so faithfully that another person wanted to follow her into inevitable poverty and hardship. Naomi lived out her faith so much that others could see that the living God she worshipped was worth worshiping.
Why Éowyn?
Please watch this- youtube.com/watch?v=mI6ArwG-s6M&ab_channel=MedeRecord. Our daughter was a little warrior princess (a shield maiden of Rohan) and a protector of the weak and vulnerable. We also prayed that she would be this for her siblings and others around her.
Both these women suffered much in their lives, so much family death, that thought is not lost on Naomi’s parents.

Why donate?
Naomi’s parents have greatly benefited from the infant bereavement program’s monthly meetings offered at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. We have met new friends and felt deeply cared for. These meetings mean a lot to us, and we continue to attend!
Other meaningful donations include the Gemma Relief Project, which honors Gemma Rose, who also left us too soon. Our dear friends Ricky and Chenea (Gemma’s parents) have decided to dedicate some of the bundles they donate to Phoenix Children’s Hospital to children in Naomi’s name, and we truly love and appreciate their efforts.
