Dear Joe and family. I was so sorry to read of Norma's passing. I was flooded with childhood memories of our Pawtucket neighborhood and also Jamestown, and how my parents always enjoyed your company so much! Indeed you were great friends. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the coming months that your sweet and loving memories will overcome your grief in some small way.
With love, Eileen Burns Simmons

So sorry to hear about Aunt Norma, I remember her from my childhood as a warm and gentle soul, who had an everlasting smile, and loved her family! The camping trips that our parents took us on! The Sunday visits, I know right now that in heaven she is with Joey and Uncle Roger is saying something to make her smile.

I will always remember my Aunt Norma as an especially warm, sweet and kind person. She loved her family very, very much. She had a pretty smile and laughed easily. I'll always picture her on a bright June day in Aunt Rita's backyard enjoying the annual family reunion. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

My deepest sympathy to your family during this difficult time. Those who die, God keeps in his memory, because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15)

It was so sad to hear of Aunt Norma's passing. As kids, George, Joan, Nancy and I so looked forward to Uncle Joe and Aunt Norma's Christmas visit. It's funny how time goes on, but that memory is fixed forever, and it is just as special today as it was then. My most vivid memory of Norma is of her kindness and warm smile, like this photo. My heartfelt condolences to Uncle Joe, Ed, and Bill and your families.
