I will always remember the beautiful memories shared with Norma when she would visit with Scott and the family. Having her join with the McHughes family at Christmas and other special occasions made the times even more memorable and enjoyable. I loved her love for life and I understood the great pride she had of her children and grandchildren. She will be missed by all of us who knew her.
