Although decades have passed since Norma left this earthly home her memories are with us. She is still inspiring us. Her good works and kindness forever touched our hearts. We think of her when we do every day things like the morning crossword puzzles. I wonder what she would be saying about the schools now. May her memories continue to be a blessing to all of us.

Although the years have passed I think of you often and send a prayer your way. The daily crossword puzzle reminds me of you and how we sat together at CPS meetings. So many of our colleagues are with you now. You are missed on this earthly abode but we cherish all memories
