Aunt Norma was a gracious mentor and caring, loving aunt. She was kind, gentle and caring. We were all fortunate to have her in our lives. She will be remembered in our hearts eternally.

Norma, both you and Margie were such a stable influence on all of us when we were young. You were so loving. You were always there. You made each of us feel special. You were devoted to family in such a special sweet way. We miss you both so much!
