Nora was a very special lady. From the day she walked into the job interview, I knew she was someone I wanted to work with and have on my team when times were tough. She was a talented baker and was always there when needed. I depended on her a lot at work and she never let me down. She was my right hand and I miss her. She leaves a hole behind in the lives she touched but we are better for having known her. We will miss her laugh, her sarcasm and her wisdom.

Dear Friends,
Nora was my sister, confidante, rock, support..I will feel the void of her passing, for years to come. It is good to have so many comment on her life and their relationship with her. Nora lived her life with great integrity, and showed all she knew how she respected them. She contributed to so many with her talent and generous spirit.
She was loved. Thank you
Cheryl Lewis-Holt

I am so sad and sorry to hear of Nora's death.My heart is so full as I remember all the time and "working" years we spent together. No one was better than Nora in the kitchen. She was so inspiring, talented, funny, kind and covered my "butt" many a time, with her calmness, professionalism, sense of humor, and a smile.
Nora always followed her passion and I toast to her here on the beach in Puerto Vallarta hoping we all can find such joy and contentment as Nora did.
My love goes out to you all,
Susan Harries

Dear Cheryl and David,
I was sad to hear of Nora Lea's passing. I have so many fun childhood memories with your family. I will always remember Nora's laugh and sense of adventure.
It has been a long time since I have
seen any of your family (probably since your mom's funeral) but you will always hold a special place in my heart. May Heavenly Father bless you all with peace and comfort at this difficult time.

We just tonight (1/7/09 got word of Nora Lea's passing and to say the least, we were shocked. We've passed the words to our kids who have fond memories of time spent with the Lewis's.

Still having trouble believing Nora is baking ginger snaps for the angels now. We will miss her wicked sense of humor, that great laugh and those snapping bright eyes.

She made a difference in our lives and we loved her. Our love and support to Jennifer, Cheryl and David.

Tea and Trumpets was a wonderful addition to Salt Lake City. It was one way Nora brought old friends together. Our community will miss Nora's good spirit and good cheer.

Nora generously spent an enormous amount of time baking delicious tarts for an Another Language Performing Arts Company fundraiser. We were so grateful and struck by her giving nature. We are saddened by her passing, Nora will be missed.

You couldn't help but like Nora. She was kind, enthusiastic, and just a lovely person. She also was an artist with her cooking that's for sure. Our sympathies to everyone. We're so sad about her passing.

Cheryl: Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. We read with interest your letter to Wally. We are happy that the family is doing well. Wally shared the news with us and I'm sure that if he was connected to the internet he would be expressing his condolences also. We didn't know your sister but are sure that your heart is aching. We hope that you know we are so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Larry and Chris

To the Lewis Family ~

On Behalf of my father & mother, Allan & Sally Musgrove, and my 7 brothers and sisters, I would like to offer our condolences and prayers to your family in this time of loss.

Nora made an everlasting impact on our lives, and to this day when my family gets together and reminisces the old days in Salt Lake - we can't help but share stories of Nora...that fun babysitter who put up with the 8 of us kids...

Again, our prayers are with you - God bless.

Jennifer & Lewis family, my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I have wonderful Nora memories: Boating on Lake Powell and the "little sharkey thing"; belly dancing while teaching Julie Lueders the finger cymbals; Tea & Trumpets; pedicure and the Oscars; and my first ever Camp-O-Rama.

Julie is there to guide as your new journey begins. Goddess speed, Nora.

As an old high school friend, many memories came flooding back as I heard the news of Nora Lea's passing. We shared many fun times and lots of growing up. She always had a smile and "words of wisdom" for me. I will be excited to see you on the other side.
Love you,

I will never forget my sweet friend, Nora. Her goodness and intensity were always so wonderful to be a part of. It's been almost 40 years since I first heard her laugh....I can still remember the sound of it. I miss her already.

I knew Nora years ago when she worked in an insurance office. She was a sweet spirit then, and you knew life had great things in store for her. Sadly we lost track of each other and life goes on. She will be missed, my thoughts and prayers go out to all who loved her. Goodbye Nil! See you on the other side, and we'll catch up.

Dear Nora,
We will miss you. We all loved you so much and you left us too soon. Our little island in the salish sea was blessed because you chose to call it home!
