Not sure what to say?

Dear Norma Jean,
I am grateful for the gift you have given me, your daughter. She has taught me so much. She is my hero. :) I will continue to pray for you on your new journey. I will also pray for Renee and her family for
their loss.
With love,
Joseph and Nicholas Lehnen

To Renee,
In a way, your mom's passing with all her family with her was a beautiful gift to her and to all of her children. What a blessing to shower each other with love and to be able to say goodbye in a very special way. My heart goes out to you and to all your family.
From what Joe said to me, she was a very special lady.
God Bless You. With love, Freda

To the Family of Norma;

Weep not for the life your Mother left
behind; be comforted by the knowledge that she is in a safer, painfree place. A Mother's love is
surpassed by no other. Hold the
memories tight; the laughter even
tighter and realize that the family
that surrounds you is the wonderful
family your Mother created. May you
all find some kind of joy knowing that
she's watching over you; protecting
the memories and living through each
of her...

My thoughts are with all my cousins. It was a blessing to be able to visit with you last summer and to see Aunt Norma. Good memories.

God bless you and may you be comforted at this time.

I was sorry to hear of Norma's passing. I feel blessed for having known her. I so enjoyed getting to know her over the years that she ate at the Grill. May God be with all of you as you go thru this difficult time.

Mom,
Unconditional love, endless joy and always ready to share a cup of coffee. Thank you for sharing your wonderful spirit and optimism these last several months. You inspired me with your strength and courage in the battle for your life and that will stay with me always. My heart holds a special place for you; I love you mom.

Mom,
Your amazing strength helped me through these past months. When I looked sad you would share a memory that would make me smile. If I got mad or frustrated, you would say or do something funny to make me laugh and ease my tension. Like David's courage to fight Gallieth, you fought the desease that invaded your tiny body with all your might and now it's time for you to rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus. You are the most beautiful rose in Heaven's garden. I love you, I miss...

To my mom Renee,
I love you dearly and I hope that you find peace in your heart knowing that your mom, grandma, is in a safe and painfree place now. I am here for you, always, and as buddy would say, "put on a happy face, beep your horn and don't forget to wave." I love you mom. Very much.
Love,
Sra

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jaime, please let me know if you need anything.
