Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Dr. McCoy's passing, 11 years later, as I was talking with my granddaughter about her and my admiration of her research. Dr. McCoy was my professor at SFSU in 1998-1999. I was her TA in Spring 1999. I was 50 years old when I graduated so Dr. McCoy and I were almost "of an age." She was the single most impressive person I encountered during my higher education and possibly in my life. I encouraged my granddaughter, a psych major, to borrow my "readers" that Dr. McCoy...

In the 1990s Norma and I worked together on several projects for the Human Sexuality Studies Program--hiring a director and designing a new MA degree program. At every meeting [and there were many] it was her energy, intelligence and sense of humor that kept us going. She was a splendid colleague, who will be greatly missed!

Norma was a valued colleague: brilliant, witty, graceful, but with a steely wit. I loved working with her and always learned from her wisdom. My sympathies to Joseph.

Norma was a valuable contributor to the field of sex research, and a delightful person.

Norma was just simply a wonderful person and a brillant scientist. Her work will live on forever. And as will the memory of her friendship.

You were a generous and unique person.

Norma, we will miss you and your great sense of humor at the "Old boys' table" for lunch. I'll miss you already.

She was a great friend, especially at the "Old Boys' Table" for lunch at San Francisco State U. She had a great sense of humor.

A brilliant bundle of energy and a dedicated scholar. A truly hard-to-forget personality.
