Norma was a great mentor and a wonderful friend. Whenever I needed help or questions about Sons of Norway, she was always happy to help. I will remember her smiling face and the encouragement she gave me while sitting around her table talking and enjoying a cup of tea or coffee. Norma was a wonderful lady who will be missed by many. It was always an honor for me when she would call and ask if I would make her Kransekake.
