My husband Ron and I shared many good times with Norma and Gus in the 10 years we spent in Florida. We were on the shuffle board team together and enjoyed one another's company very much. Norma's hands were always busy. She knit beautifully, was a good cook and baker. They entertained frequently at their home and we were part of a group that enjoyed eating out as well. They were good company and always willing to offer help if needed. I was grateful to call them my friends.

My dear sister Norma. Norma and Gus got married when I was 3 years old, so she was almost like a mother to me. I grew up with her kids! I will miss her dearly! We had just become closer the last few years! RIP Norma!
