Dear Randy,
I'm going to visit Norma's memory today. First of all, here. And then, in a couple of hours, I'm taking a great photo of her (which my mom shared), and will visit with staff and volunteers at Kensington Hospice's memorial event.
So far, I haven't found a good way to tell you how missed your beloved mom will be... but I hope you know how her many friends feel about her.
My condolences to your whole family on your loss. You've been such an amazing and caring son. We all know how much your kindness and support were appreciated, and just how very much your mom loved you! We all admired your every visit and effort, on her behalf.
It was such a pleasure for me to have met Norma when I was just a kid, and then enjoyed knowing that she was a lifelong family friend... ever after that. She was someone I loved and admired without reservation. Her sparkle and wit will not be forgotten.
I send you comfort and wish you all so many good memories.
With love and great respect.

Hello Randy,
Gene and I were saddened to read of the recent death of your mother. We have many happy memories of our days living across the road on Chudleigh. Norma was particularly helpful to me when Eugene was born as you were only slightly older and we could compare notes on child-rearing - neither of us being at all experienced! We remember when Norma was driving up Avenue Road and saw a little hound in imminent danger of being run over whom she rescued and, not being able to ever locate its owners, she adopted and named Baskerville - a friend for Teddy. We hope that all the happy memories you have of her will bring you and your family comfort.

To Randy, I just wanted to send my sympathies, and to let you know how much your Mom meant to me as a teenager growing up across the street on Chudleigh. Norma (she was one of the few adults around who encouraged me to call her by her first name) always found the time to inquire as to what I was up to, and shared her enthousiasm, and often her courage, when discussing what the future might hold. She was such a kind and thoughtful neighbour especially during my parents later years. And of course you know that she was the greatest friend to all our dogs! I hope you and your family can take some comfort in knowing that the life your Mom led will continue to be an inspiration for folks like me.

Dear Randy, Just want to tell you how sorry Marty and I are that your wonderful mom is gone. I will always remember Norma as the owner of two blue eyes that looked up at me as I stood with a lunch tray in hand,first day as a 29-year-old student at York University, wondering where to sit in that sea of 18-year-olds. "Why don't you sit here?" the owner of the blue eyes asked, moving over along the bench to make room for me. It was the beginning of a long friendship. Fifty four and one half years. And I also think of the time when Marty and I were babysitting Tamara while you and your parents were in Hedley with your rowing team followed by a trip to Ireland. Tamara had eventually settled down and seemed quite happy with us, but when she heard Norma's voice coming in our back gate, Tamara almost knocked the fence down, and your mom too. And there was the time your parents baby-sat our Wheaten, Satch. When we returned and Norma brought him back to us, Satch tried to follow her home again. I guess he really liked it at your house. And the time I babysat you as a newborn so small I was afraid to pick you up. Some babysitter! And then there were all the New Years Eves Marty and I spent with your parents. The highlight of the evening was always the phone call from you, wherever you were that year, close or far. The memories don't stop, and I am overwhelmed by how much she enriched my life, and how lucky I was that day she made room for me on the bench.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Norma at ADS. She was always so full of life and fun and energy. My thoughts are with you.
