To all of Norma Lee's family - I am very sad to hear of her passing. Norma Lee was a favorite cousin to my mother, Pearl Decker Long, and one of mine as well. Some of my fondest memories of living in Highland are wrapped in her warm smiles, her contagious laughter and her ability to instantly make you feel like one of the family. I will always treasure her memory and how she effected my life.

Our deepest sympathy is with you all. Grandma Bussie is what my nephews (Brian, Joey and James) called her. She was a wonderful person, woman, mother and grandmother. She will be missed by all.

With all our love,

Diana, Alexander, Jarrett and Tony Bravo
