To the family, I am so sorry for your lost. I work at the Dialysis Center with Ms.Norville she was like family to me. I saw her three times a week. She had a sense of humor she would laugh and tell jokes. I'm goin to miss her dearly, but I know that she's no longer suffering. May God Bless You All.

Words can not express how much I will miss you Grandma. I know you are in a better place but it's still so hard to think I will never see you again or have our weekend talks. I love you so much and I know you are with Grandy now looking down on us...

Just me and Grandma

I miss you so much Grandma! It's hard to imagine not being able to hold your hand or kiss you and tell you I love you again, but I know you are with Grandy now and that should bring you all the happiness in the world. I love you so much and know that with you and Grandy together again I will never walk through hard times alone. You are both watching over me now and although it hurts now I will find strength in this pain. I love you Grandma!
