Aunt Norma was definitely one-of-a-kind. She didn't know a stranger and could whip up some of the best food around. She loved her family with her whole heart, and she would do anything she could to help her loved ones. She'll be missed by so many! My love and sympathy is with my family in celebrating this wonderful soul.
