Norma had such style. From her clothes to how she decorated her home. I always admired that about her. She was so beautiful. She amazed me with her gardening skills. The backyard was gorgeous and was a wonderful sanctuary for every kind of bird, even hawks would fly in. God bless

Norma and John were my husband Gary's and I witness when we got married. We had such a wonderful time in Reno and then after getting married we all went to Lake Tahoe to see Johnny Cash. I have so many wonderful memories of all four of us playing cards,. We had such good times together. Miss and love them so very much. They welcomed me and my children into the family with open arms!!! I really do miss those days. Cynthia Quinn

Aunt Norma is missed by us all.
I have so many great memories growing up and visiting her. She was so soft spoken and kind. As a little girl she always had a little something special to give me. She was the one who gave me my nickname Beth and I always loved her and Uncle John's relationship. They were inseparable. One of the things I loved about them was their laughs. I can hear them now. I miss them both very much.

I miss my mom. She was such a wonderful mother. I can still see her smiling face. I have many happy memories of her, and many things that remind me of her. She loved nature, gardening, and taking walks. Before she passed away I wrote a poem for her and read it to her. I wanted to show her how much she was loved. Love you mom, Christine
