I worked with Nori and Time Life and she was such a joy to talk with and I would see her at Red Lobster. She was so proud of her family and loved talking about the grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Just know that her spirit will live forever in all the lives she touched. I will never forget her smile and love of life. She will always live in your hearts and may you know the she in HIS tender care now and HE will see you through these difficult times.

“To Those I Love And To Those Who Love Me”

When I am gone,
Release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears;
Be happy we had so many years.
I give you my love,
You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love
You have shown me;
But now it’s time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for me,
If grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away for life goes on.
So if you need me,
Call me and I will be near.
And if you listen with your heart,
You’ll hear
All my love around you,
Soft and clear.
And when you must come this way along,
I’ll greet you with a Smile,
And “Welcome Home”.



You will be forever loved my dearest sister in law.
