My sweet cousin Norma always had a smile on her face and never complained about life. She had a amazing voice and we loved listening to her and Tommy play at the Pizza House in Clyde. Loved having jam sessions with her playing with my husband back in the day of the Bill Skinner band. She will be missed. My condolescences to the family. I would have been at the service if I had known. Cousin Pam Rhoda and John Rhoda
