It's hard to imagine that such a lovely,gracious and unassuming lady made such a BIG impact in this world. Just think of all the good she contributed through her leadership and generosity to USC, the South Bay, and to so many organizations through the Norris Foundation.

Lisa,
I was saddened to learn of your mother leaving us. She was such an inspiration and always so interested in others. Jan Switzer and I always looked forward to our time with her and of course always appreciated the generosity and care she showed toward the work that was being done at the Center.
Im sure the world does not seem quite the same without her but we can all find comfort in knowing how much she made it a better place.
My best to you and your family.

Harlyne was a student of mine in one course at Marymount California University. She was intellectually alive, curious, and humble--all the attributes of a good learner.
I will miss her. My sincerest wishes of peace for all the others who will miss her also.

I'm so sorry to hear about the death of Harlyne. She was a good person and easy to talk to. When I first met her and told her I was one of the first female jockeys she said, "I think you're swell." I'll never forget her kindness and friendship. Rest in peace, Harlyne. I'll never forget you.

I am so saddened by the death of dear Harlyne. Getting to know her was a joy. Her sense of humor brightened everyone and everything around her. Earth is a bit darker now, but heaven sure is brighter. May flights of angels sing her to her rest.
