Norma invested her life into so many. I am grateful to be among those. Prayer meetings, Bible studies and many phone conversations. Jay, having your mom and dad as friends was a precious time in the liife of my husband and I. Their influence remains. God bless you and your family.

To Jay and family I send my heartfelt prayer for comfort as I learn of your mother's passing. A true Woman of Faith, there is joy knowing that she is with Jim and Richard in the presence of the Almighty. Your brother and I were friends and "Sunday School Buddies" as children. May our memories always be brightened by the light of Norma's smile.

Dear Jay and family, Your Mom meant so much to me, and I'm thankful for the time Mary Hawkins and I came to Tucson to visit Norma. Jan prepared a delicious lunch for us even though she was still working full time. It was a wonderful visit and memory. With love in Christ, Sharon White

Jamie... Love and prayers from the Williams family who lived/live across the street from them. Your Grandma and Grandpa were both so very kind to us growing up. Playing with you when you came down to visit them was a fond memory that came to mind when I saw your Grandma's obituary. Mom and Dad send their love and prayers.

So sad to hear of Norma's passing, but rejoicing that I will see her again. She was a great mentor to me during my High School years. She knew Jesus so well, and prayed with me many times when I needed encouraging or guidance. What a heritage of faith she has left behind for her family and friends.

Norma and Jimmy where two(2)of our favorite people, always made us laugh. Really miss them both.

Dear Jay and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's death. Our families were so blessed to have been able to share work, school and neighbor type activities over the years. What a lovely spit fire she was. I'm sure she will rejoice in reuniting with your father and Ricky after so many years. God Be with you and your family. Sincerely Carmen Duarte Stephens

My sympathies and wonderful memories of Norma when she was in YUHS with my sister, Madeline. Renewed frienship with she and Jimmy when we all went to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. She was loving, thoughtful lady! She and Jacque Crone have much to catch up on.

Jay, I am so sorry to hear that Norma passed away. While I was growing up on 10th Ave I remember she would have little bible studies for us neighborhood kids. I loved going over there and learning about Jesus and I know she loved sharing her love with us. I am Raul Duarte's daughter. I've so many fond memories of her and your family.

I was so shocked to wake up this morning and see that she had passed away. I know she is now in God's hands and she was a true believer. My prayers are with you and your family.
