I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Noreen's Mother and Family. I was so shocked when I heard of her death. I've only known Noreen from going to Mather, our senior hangout, since she joined, and from the Red Hat Society. It was a pleasure to know her. She was always so very kind, and always had time to listen and talk. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

As one of Norine's exercise instructors, I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to her family. Especially her mom and her sister, whom she often spoke of.



Although I only knew her for a few short years, Norine was a positive influence in my life.

She had the ability to know if I was down, or having a bad day....and, with just a few words, was able to lift my spirits back up.

Those words will never be forgotten.

I feel very lucky to have known her.

She will be missed by many.
