Many wonderful memories of when Arnie & Norma lived in Lake Stevens.... she was a dear friend to my mother, Martha Millar, too. We pray you'll know the comfort of God, with assurance she is in His hands. With love, Deanne and Denis Swenson

It was always a pleasure to visit Norma for her reflexology treatments. My thoughts go out to family and friends that you find comfort in this time of need. While loss always seems to bring sadness, may your hearts soon be filled with the wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate her life.
