Very sorry to hear of Norma’s passing. She was alwas energetic and full of life. I particularily enjoyed bowling with her as she was a great competitor and friend. She always had a funny coment no matter what and had a great sense of humor.
God Bless You Norma as you will truly be missed.

Christine, Kim and family,
We were so sorry to hear about your mother passing away. It doesn’t matter how old your mother and father are when they die, they are still our parents and we will always need and love them. We didn’t know your mother, but knowing you two girls gives us a glimpse of what a lovely, vibrant person she was. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers in your time of mourning.
