Not sure what to say?

Nora is actually in my top 5 best humans I ever met. @2002-2006 I had the pleasure of sharing time with her. She was so stoic. Classy. Wise. Stubborn. We shared love of hummingbirds. She was my person, who I learned so much about trauma, recovery, love, boundaries, self respect. She loved going to her annual trips to Spain with her girlfriends. Lived her dog. Truely cared about the women at Vida Nueva (I was one of them) and sacrificed her time and invested in the well being of people. She...

Still missing and thinking of you, Nonie. Love you so much. You were the best godmother.

Still miss you all the time, Nonie

It does not seem like 2 years. I am glad I got to know Nora a little bit. Patty

I walked my dog in the neighborhood and met Nora walking her dog. She invited me to her home and taught me an art technique she was learning. I just learned of her departure. She is such a blessing to me. She was out and about, loving people and sharing her talent.

Nora's passing will be very hard for all of us she helped. There is no doubt in my mind that she saved my life. Her tough love was exactly what I needed. The years of work she did with me allowed me to change my life. When the student is ready the teacher appears. There are no words to thank someone who has done so much for so many of us! Love you Nora

I just found out about Nora's passing. I'm feeling so much loss right now. I first met her in Mallorca where I was a member of her women's group. She was instrumental in helping me find a new way of life. I will be forever grateful to her. The number of people she was able to help must number in the thousands. She brought hope and serenity to countless people through the selfless work she did throughout her life. I didn't have the privilege of spending time with her the last years of...

There are no words to describe the sadness I feel about Nora's passing. She was a best friend to my mother and a mentor and mother/grandmother figure to me. I had the honor of meeting her when my mother worked with her as a LISAC at Vida Nueva for 10 years. She had an incredible influence on all of those people she met and had a zest for life, always staying active and pursuing new hobbies no matter what age.. I will always think of her gracefully diving into our pool and the way her eyes...

I will miss my friend,and will always remember everything she has taught me. RIP
