Norma was like a 2nd mother to me. She’s been part of my life for so many years. Many drives to Skateland, the lake and countless sleepovers. I have many memories of good laughs and fun times. She’ll truly be missed. Heaven gained a very special angel. Rest in peace Norma.
Norma is my Aunt, the last of my mom’s siblings. As a child holidays were spent with the family, always so enjoyable and Grandma was such a wonderful cook.0
And I will miss your dear Norma!. I was her clinic nurse for many years.We had many good conversations and giggles. Bless her soul!
