My heart and prayers are with you during your time of sorrow. Norma was a very special friend and a beautiful person. I never saw her that she wasn't smiling and had a hug for everyone she saw. Norma was a very good friend for many years. Ashby, you were the love of her life. and all the kids, grandkids, she just loved with all her heart. May the family have comfort to know, she was chosen because she's a very special lady and God only takes the best.
