We lived across the street from the Norseens for years. Dean spent many an hour chatting with my dad in the alley behind our house. Eldene would holler over ... always trying to keep him in line. God bless her. Very sad news. She is a beautiful, smiling & laughing memory I'll always carry from my childhood at 17th & Cleveland.

Norseen Family: Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. Dean, Eldene and family were important people as I grew up in Lexington. I remember many nights where your family shared dinner, cards and play time for us. I also have fond memories of the Johnson Lake cabin. Your mother had such a joyful spirit and I still remember her laugh and how she always had a smile for everyone. It is so hard losing our parents, but the memories we have and share will be cherished....

We so enjoyed talking and getting to know Eldene at 4th of July parties at Kenny and Marys and of course during Brian and Claires wedding. She was a special lady with a big heart. We are thinking of you all. Much love, Amy and Rich

I'm so sorry to hear of your loved and deepest condolences are extended to you. Something that's helped me through the death of loved ones is to reflect on 1 Corinthians 15:26.
