I dont ever remember a time Norma wasnt in my life. Ill miss going to lunch with her. Ill miss how she always told me that when she saw me now, she would think of that young tomboy with the baseball mitt and Cubs cap. Ill miss how she brought Aiden kit kat bars to church s revives. Ill miss how she always had a warm smile and hug for me.
Im thankful for the blessing God gave me when he allowed the Wilson family to be a part of my life through our Christian family. And Im thankful Norma is no longer in pain and has gone to her eternal reward. I will miss you, Norma!!!
May God bless the entire Wilson/Newcomb family and friends with comfort during this time of grief. I love you all!!!
