Norma (and Jerry) shared so many wonderful memories with us -- in Las Vegas (NFR), cruises, and many other events. The joy, friendship, and caring showed in Norma's eyes, words, and creativity (pot holders/potato baking sack that she gave to each person at Las Vegas). Norma was always ready to pitch in to help, lend an ear, pray, or share with anyone who needed her help; she seemed to sense when someone needed an encouraging word. At my sister's (Judy Symens) memorial service on November 18 her hug and words of comfort revealed who she was -- a true friend who shared her faith in so many ways. It brings me joy to know that Judy and Norma continue to be together in their Eternal Home. Norma will be missed here on earth, but she rejoices with Jesus now. Blessings and prayers to everyone who mourns her loss. Betty Kendall
