To the family, I'm so sorry to just learn about losing my hero. Mrs. Tolson gave me my first job in Wichita as her Secretary of American Business Center. She taught me all I know today about the business world. May she rest in peace and may God bless all of you richly. Phyllis Murhy Columbus, Ohio

Ms. Norma Tolson will be missed. I met Ms. Tolson while she was working on the Weir Cemetery Project, as I had family members which were buried there. She was a real champion in working hard to see the preservation of this cemetery. I hope someday to see this project complete. May God bless and keep your family during this time of grief.

I met Norma (a kindred spirit) through her quest for historic preservation of African-American cemeteries. I regret that she was not able to see the preservation of the Weir Cemetery for which she worked tirelessly. She did her best and was a great inspiration to me! May God keep your family and comfort them during this grieving period. I will miss you my friend.

It is difficult to loose someone so very dear to you but many precious memories will always be in your heart to help you find strength and peace. Isn't it wonderful to know that you can tell where the lamplighter went by the trail she let behind? Your Mother leaves with you a great legacy to remember and cherish. My prayers will always be with you.
