My mother always took care of us and made every holiday magical for us. She would work all day as a teacher and come home and cook a full meal for the family. She did it every night for years and years and they were good meals too. I am amazed by her when I realize how hard she worked and how much she gave for so many years. She was always willing to reach out and take time and effort to communicate with others. We miss her and think about her often and appreciate the heroic feats she...

As I was cleaning my voicemail I came across a voicemail Mrs. Norell left me on 07/31/2020. After a quick Facebook look up I realized that she had passed away earlier this year.

Stevie, Debbie Lynn, and I were just little kids when our second oldest cousin, Dr. Jerry Norrell fell in love and married Janice. We as kids fell in love with Janice and she was always like a BIG sister to us. She became part of our family 58 years ago and we love her and her beautiful grown children, Griffin, Melissa, Rhonda, and Justin very much. Janice had such a BIG HEART and was a wonderful Christian lady. As much as I miss my monthly contact with Janice I praise the LORD that she is...
