I have the best memories of Norma. We used to rent their house next door and I would go over to Norma´s many mornings for coffee and good company. We had many good times with both Mark and Norma. I am sorry to hear of her passing.

Norma was such a wonderful lady to work with at Jefferson School. She was always taking care of everyone with her loving and caring way. It was always a fun time when Norma and Brenda were on a roll. God bless you Norma.

Everyone loved Norma. My son went to Jefferson School where i had the pleasure of meeting Norma. Over the years I became PTO president & TA there. She was such a wonderful happy woman. The smile and laughter was contagious. The children and staff loved her. She worked hard for that school and made sure nothing was needed or missed. I always made a point to see her and Brenda over my years at Jefferson and i am glad i did. My condolences to Mark, her children..family and friends.
