The famous poem about the beauty of a tree
I'm certain poet Joyce Kilmer would agree
there is nothing as pretty for one to see
as a big smile on the face of Norma Lee

Dear Gary and family -- I just heard about Norma's passing from Helen Lanham. I'm so sorry for your loss. I will never forget Norma's sparkling blue eyes and wonderful laugh. You all were such great neighbors. We had so many fun times in Barker Place, our little corner of Lanham. Wishing you all the best and giving you my deepest sympathy for Norma, may she rest in peace. Love and light,

My heart breaks upon getting word of Norma's passing. Although I never got the chance to meet her, we had some wonderful conversations on the phone when we found each other researching our family. Her laugh was infectious, and her love of family shined through. With deepest of sympathy my prayers to her whole family. Love to all.
