Aunt Norma you are a free soul now and able to rest in peace. I always had fun visiting you and the three girls in the summer time. We have lots of fun memories when they would come to our house too. I remember how you loved to lay in the sun and get a really good tan in the summer. You will be missed!

It was a pleasure caring for Norma. She is very lucky to have such a caring family. Norma is deeply missed by all of the staff. She always welcomed a smiling face, a hug, or just a moment to hold her hand. Thank you for allowing us to care for her. You are in our thoughts and prayers. -- Autumn Nuhfer, RN, Plesant Ridge Manor

I am sad and happy, Aunt Norma because you are now free from your earthly bonds and can now fly again. I will remember the little things like teaching me to eat tuna on toasted bread. I always enjoyed visiting your home in the summer and playing with my cousins. Loved the meals you prepared. I mostly remember how beautiful you looked in my eyes!!! Love you and will see you again one day!!!
