You will be missed my Norma Jean, honorary mother/friend. Thank you for always checking on me and the kids throughout the past 14 years...a friendship that followed me from Reinhart, to putting me on to trips to the harbor. You kept an upbeat attitude through your battle. My condolences to Tim, the kids and all of your grands. Love you girl!

Norma (Pumpkin) was one of my first friends outside of family. She helped to make elementary school and Morning Star Baptist Church Vacation Bible School fun! Although we were not as close in High School, I always considered her a friend. I am so saddened by her passing, but based on our last conversation, I know she has found rest, peace and complete healing in the arms of Jesus. Rest easy, Pumpkin.

Curtains close, novels end & the world stops...It’s never been my story to tell...Never been my peace to give...Just the smallest of parts I’ve played in an amazing life...A summer’s breeze of realness and compassion all in one breath...Words spoken will never come close to the life that gave so many others life...As the angels that lifted our angel up whispers...Thank you for sharing her voice and her smile and her sense of humor and her laughter...And most importantly, her light...May it shine across the skys in the darkest of nights, when you look up to talk to her most...May it peep thru your windows and glisten on the tears racing down your faces when you need to feel her most...May it help guide you in those times you’re looking for a sign from her that you are making the right choice when you need confirmation...Thank you for sharing her light with us...A bright light that will forever stay lit in your hearts and cherished in your memories...As I flip thru the last pages of a life most beloved and well lived...I pray God’s peace and strength finds its way to those that loved you best...

"Pumpkin," you fought a good fight and I truly admired your braveness during your battle. You kept your high strung spirits up and laughter even when you didn't feel like it, never saw a frown or complaints uttered from you. That couldn't have been easy for you, but you made it look that way...so now you're at peace, no more suffering, or pretending. Soar high with the God Almighty, we all will miss and often think of you and I will always remember the love.
May God be with you all, Tyesha, Delvin and Tim. Let her memories you shared be your comfort and the fact she suffers no more be your joy. Your Angel is watching over you now...
Sorrowfully Submitted, ~Glynis~
