While we are all sad to see Norma go we also celebrate her life and the hope we have through our lord Jesus, as followers of Christ, that we will all be reunited some day in the presence of our Lord. I believe that Paul's teachings in 1 Thessalonians describes it best:

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
