To Jimmy, Alan, Bruce, Bobby and Nancy
I have just returned from the UK and have learned of Aunt Norma's passing. I am so sorry to not have been there to offer my personal condolences and offer my support during this difficult time. I have fond memories of her and was personally touched when she and all of you were there for Dad, Suzi and me when my mother passed. My thoughts are with you.
All my love,
Adam

To Norma’s family:

I am very sorry not to be able to join Andrea and the rest of you in celebrating Norma’s life. Although both Norma and Dorothy had to endure lung disease, both were fighters who insisted on enjoying life at every opportunity. I am sure Andrea considered Norma an “older sister” since she was only a relatively few years older; and Norma, in turn, was always very supportive of Andrea. I am very glad to have had the opportunity to know her and I am sure she will be missed. I hope the next few days bring a flood of warm memories as you all get together to remember the highlights of her life.
