We are so sorry for the lost of your Norma. We were Comadras, and best of friends. and we loved her dearly. We will keep all of you in our prayers and will remember Norma (and) Charlie also in our prayers always.



We had many years of laughter, excitment, childbirth stories, meals together, games of cards, and lots of shopping. Oh, how I remember the laughing and LOUD times, just to hear each other talk was a challenge. I will miss her! Norma was a true friend. When I think of her and Charlie I remember them only with love.

My deepest sympathy to Norma's family. I had the pleasure of meeting Norma in high school. We all attended Pueblo High School. Norma and her sister were the neetest people.

To the children and grand children and great grand children I'm sorry for your loss, my prayers are with each and every one of you. May God Bless You.

My deepest sympathy to Norma's family. I had the pleasure of meeting Norma through the research study she participated in for her cancer treatment. The pure fact that she chose to participate in a trial that may not have helped her, but maybe someday help others, speaks volumes of who she was as a person. I admired her courage and her faith, and her great love for her family and life in general. May GOD bless all of you at this very difficult time. Thank You.

My deepest and sincerest condolences to all of the Castillo and Valdez family. You all were very blessed to have such a beautiful example of God's love amongst you.I know it was just not long enough. I have known Norma since we were at Pueblo High School, she was one of my very closest and dearest friends. Through the years we drifted and got so busy that we lost track of one another. Oh how I wish that we had continued our friendship.I have always missed her but now it is so final and to know that I waited too long to look up an "old" friend.My prayers and warmest of hugs to all of you. My sisters all send their love and prayers, May you all find comfort and resignation in knowing that many of us will long remember Norma and her gracious smile. May God bless you and all of your family especially the children. Mary ann Amado
