I am so sorry to hear of Norma's passing. She was the pianist at St. Paul's UMC when my late husband, Harry and I joined St. Paul's. I have thought of her often and wondered where she was. The only words of comfort I can give you is to lean on our Lord and Savior during your time of grief. He is holding you in His hands and feels his pain.
