Norma was a year ahead of me in nursing school and had a great sense of humor. After living and working in New York for nearly 40 years,I returned to Pittsburgh in 2003; was told by a classmate that Norma lived in the Butler area and gave her a call. I was soon laughing out loud when her answering machine picked up and Norma's voice said, can't talk now, he is chasing me around the dining room table. You know what to do. Call you later.
Will find the laughing angels when I join you in heaven and expect that you will be part of that group. We will miss you...Pat Valoon
