Not sure what to say?

Such a beautiful obituary. "For Norma, if she met you, you were hers." That couldn't be more true. She had a way of making you feel so special and loved. Although I only knew her for a short time, I'm forever thankful. Sending lots of love to her family. xoxo

Norma and Russ were so valued in ministry at Cornerstone Church! They were loved and will be missed. Norma used her card-sending gift here for as long as she could. You all have some great examples to follow in your parents/grandparents. May you experience God's comfort and peace in the days to come.

I so enjoyed the dynamic duo of Sally and Norma shopping with us at Leighs. I felt a wonderful friendship develop over the years. My deepest sympathy to you Sally with love.

Sheri, Sally, Scott and families, We are so sorry for your loss of your mom. Losing a parent is so hard. She was such a blessing to so many! I have very fond memories of visiting her when I was at Hope with Sheri. She was such a kind and giving soul. May your memories help you through this difficult time. Hugs to you all, Jill and Brad Van Zyl

I did Norma´s hair for a number of years and she was the sweetest person I ever met. When I no longer did her hair I would get a Birthday and Christmas card every year from her. She taught me how reaching out with a simple card could make someone´s day. I try to do the same for others. I have thought of her so often. What a wonderful legacy she left! So sorry for your loss. Our loss. Heavens gain. Can´t wait to see her there someday

I feel so fortunate to have been a part of Norma´s life. When i first met her i was immediately struck by her outlook on life. She made the best of each day! She had wonderful stories to tell me especially about her dear husband, Russ. Norma had a beautiful relationship with him and together they had such amazing children. Norma´s family was so dedicated to her and making sure she had everything she needed which mainly was time with all her family. Norma quickly became my friend and someone...

Our sympathy to you all.

Grieving with all of you- your mom was the classiest, kindest lady, and she loved you all so much. Hugs and prayers for all of you! Much love, Tom and Paula VZ

My deepest condolences to the Vander Werp family.
