Norma, the lifelong impact you have had on me as well as so many of your students is nothing short of amazing and proof that miracles are in the world today. I still won´t wear red, and though we are on opposite sides of the rivalry on the fateful Saturday after thanksgiving, I´ll forever be your `Littlest Angel´ even as a Yellow Jacket. I´ll see you again in Paradise

I am so sorry to see this! What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful woman. Mrs. Norma and Mr. Rick were active volunteers with the youth group and chaperoned our mission trips. I adored them both. They were devoted and loving friends to my grandparents, Barbara and Gene Kimbrell. She will be missed, and she was most certainly loved.
