I will miss Norma more than I can say. for so many years we either walked or drove to church together. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor, someone I both loved and respected. Her independance, her interest in and love of life, and her deep love of God were all qualities I admired so much. I can't think of a better way to honor her memory than trying to emulate those qualities. Rest in peace, dear Normie

Rest In Peace now Grandma. I know you are in heaven and everything is just fine. I will miss you greatly but I will always remember the years we had together.

Oh, how Normie will be missed. Not only on the block, but everyone she's touched will wish she was around for a true word. Mrs. Van Dyke was a little scary when I was a new kid on the block, because she was very proper (we thought!) but she and Mr. Van Dyke always had a smile. Later in years, Normie shared fun, truth and wisdom, loved her dogs, cared about her neighbors. I miss you already, Normie. Annette Sedlar

With fond memories, from your neighbors at "the other end of the block" Mary Steffler, Sandy Steffler Spencer and Patti Steffler Stoyanoff, our thoughts and prayers are with you Penny. Had seen "Mom" out walking her dog down by March Street as recently as last summer, when I do a drive-by through the neighborhood on my way to the post office. You must be very proud of her continued independence and spritely step on into her 90's. Bless you all**patti
