so sorry to hear of norma's passing, and wish we could have met more and waxed over memories of the family we are descended from, and become more familiar with those of us who are still carrying on this family's traditions...polly jelinek, of the austin,mn. connection.

God bless Norma, she was so sweet and kind, I really enjoyed our Genealogy relationship over the past 30 years. I'm the granddaughter of Pearl Hennagir Eheler, Norma's cousin.
Until we meet again.

To the Cartwright family i send my condolences. One of the things I remember best was going to her house in Scanlon with my Mother Irene and seeing her old bottle collection and listening to some of the stories she had of them.

I am so sorry to hear of Norms's death. I know it wasn't expected, and that always makes it even worse to bear. Norma was a lively, interesting woman with a myriad of projects always at hand. Mom was looking forward to having her settle somewhere close where they could get together often. She will miss Norma a lot.
We will see you at the memorial service.

The entire Cartwright Family: Sorry I can't be in Cloquet now for the service, but we are in Arizona.
The passing of your mom, grandma, great grandma and aunt certainly was a surprise. Norma has been part of my life, my entire life. She helped raise us (she is my Mom's best friend) when we lived in Blackhoof, and her kids (all of you) were like brothers and sisters. Your sister Sharon was my very close friend. I will miss seeing your Mom but know she is now with Don and Donnie and Sharon.
Remember the good times! Much love,
Joan
