Aunt Norma was a beautiful woman inside and out. As a little girl I thought she was like a queen. To me she was warm and loving and always wonderful to be with. She was the kind of woman that lit up any room that she entered, not only because of her striking beauty but something else. It was her incomparable combination of grace and charm and love that made Aunt Norma so extraordinary. To me, she was a queen and always will be, forever.
