Nora, I was very blessed to be part of your family and the way you welcomed me with open arms. I will always remember your love of life, social gatherings, laughter and endless chatter.

Aunt Nora, you will be missed. To Nancy and Chris, thanks for letting me know, and my deepest sympathies to you and all your family.
