Norma was the cousin of my father Morris Sorlie and my aunt Alvera (Sorlie) Routson. I have not seen her in years, but remember her from childhood days visiting at my Grandma Pauline Sorlie's house when she was also there. My sympathy and prayers go out to all her family. Keep the good memories in your heart, they will help you through this time.
