Not sure what to say?

Many good times with Norma. She was my true Love. A very classy Woman. You are missed Norma.

Our heart and thoughts go out to Norma's family at this time. We still cannot believe that this happened and can only imagine your sense of loss and sadness. We only knew Norma for a short time but she will be missed. She was one of the first neighbors to welcome us to the neighborhood. She was funny, thoughtful and loved her dog! We will miss seeing her and Keno going for their walks everyday. Such a nice, fun lady. Too, too sad.

I am still unable to articulate how I feel about this loss. Norma and I became fast friends in a very short period of time. We shared activities from local travel, wine tasting, and enjoyable conversation. She will be missed.

I first met Norma during a deal we had together on a custom home in 1995. I liked her right away. She was fun to talk to and had a good sence of humor. I just her at the gas station next to Re/Max just 3 weeks ago!! God bless her.

It was during my few years at ReMax Central that Norma and I became way more than co-workers...we became good friends who freely confided in each other. I loved our little girl talks and laughing with her about adventures into the secret lives of men. Norma was so full of life and she always reminded me of a beautiful little bubble bouncing around the ReMax office reminding everyone to have a little fun along with their work. More than once I handled her real estate deals for her while she...

Dear Red and Lisa,
We have known Norma for over 15 years. She was the highlight of our dental office when she came in and was determined to keep her teeth in perfect shape, which she did. Prior to becoming a Realtor, Norma was a dental assistant. (Not too many people know this.) We bet she had that office in laughter and giggles!
Norma helped us purchase our home 15 years ago and we were so impressed with her work ethic, honesty, professionalism, hard work, compassion and...

Norma -- I will miss you coming into the Hot Tub Store. I sold you your first hot tub. We had fun with our girlie talk over the years. I loved seeing you every time you came in, your smiling face and your jazzy clothes were always a highlite in my ordinary days at the store. May you walk everyday in the clouds looking down on us and our pets.

I met Norma seven years ago when my husband & I were considering selling our house. We decided against it at that time, but I knew that Norma would be the one I'd call when we decided to sell. Our house was on the market only a few days when we received 3 offers. Norma worked very hard to get the best deal for us, even kicking in part of her commission to make it happen. I was talking to her or seeing her every day over the last few months. We left for Kauai on the 3rd, and she told me...

I am sadden by the news of Norma's passing. I have known her for 20 years and her passion and energy is what I admired about her most. She became a dear friend and we shared a mutual respect for each other. My heart goes to her family. Norma was a special person. We shall all miss her.
