The Hospice Chaplain, Jacque Collins, who delivered the Mesasge of Hope at Norma's service offered the following quote during her talk. "The risk of love is loss and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love." - Hilary Stanton Zunin
Norma was always willing to give all of herself to those she loved and her love will always abide in all of those who knew her.
