I WAS SO SHOCKED TO HEAR OF NORMA'S PASSING. SHE WAS SUCH A SWEET PERSON AND A WONDERFUL PERSON. I ENJOYED SEEING HER EVERYDAY WHEN WE WORKED TOGETHER OR SEEING HER IN THE DT MANY YEARS AFTER SHE LEFT MCDONALDS. THE WORLD IS A SADDER PLACE NOW THAT SHE IS GONE. GOD BLESS THE FAMILY IN THEIR TIME OF NEED RIGHT NOW. REVONDA LAMPKINS.

Becky and sisters: I am so sorry to hear about Norma. Our family experienced the loss of our sister Janet just a couple of weeks ago. She was also too young to give up but only God knows best. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gene Walker just told me about Norma's death. I was having a conversation just a week or two ago about all you girls and made the statement that I had not seen Norma in years. I always enjoyed her so much and am so sorry to hear about her death. You are surely in my thoughts and prayers.

Norma was like a second mother to me. She worked for me many years at McDonald's. Her warm smile and love for people I will cherish the rest of my life. God bless the family and I will always love Norma.

Mary Lynn and family,
I am so sorry about Norma's death and all the sad parts of her life. She and I had some fun times at MJHS and on our trip to Newport News. Seeing her at McDonald's, although she had aged so much, reminded me how she loved people and always had loving comments about all of those who knew her. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I send my love.
