I met Norma online about a year ago. She became a huge Blessing to me during that time. She was so full of faith and her love of God overflowed and touched everyone she met. An angel went to be with her Father and she will truly be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. I pray the Lord brings you comfort and peace.
