Lee, Leeann, Shelley and Louise: So sorry for your loss. Norma was a great woman and always was nice to my family and me. Heck my family and yours grew up across the alley way from each other. Remember the saying "who will have the first tomato this year?" Then Lee, my father Leland (Lee)and Mike would start their gardens.
Shelley, we have spent many years together through thick and thin, always know that I am here for you.
Just know that your mother is with her loved ones and waiting your arrival. God Speed Norma. Love you all, Sue and Randy Bird
