So sad to lose a great and wonderful friend. We went to the Theaters together for many years. Lots of great conversations over many years. Can’t believe she is gone. Will miss her so much. Will think of her often. Sitting next to me at the theaters. She is with God. She loved God. Always went to church. Big part of her life. Miss you NORMA. ❤❤❤

Im proud to say Norma was a friend and a good person to work for. Great sense of humor. Wish I had crossed paths with sooner. She was the kind of person you wanted to work for and she had a great appreciation for those that did right by her. There should be more Norma ODonnellz in this world. RIP my friend.
