Our preyers are with you and yours in this time of sorrow. Close your eyes and hold on to all those special memories of Aunt Norma. Remembering her laugh, her smile and her loving heart. She is united with Uncle Jim and they were special gifts to us all. They will forever be our guardian angles. I take comfort in that. Some sweet day, we will all be together again! With love to my family.

I was saddened to see of Norma's death in the paper. I used to bowl with her at North 11 lanes many years ago. She was a really sweet person. My deepest sympathy to her family.
