Remember Norma, and Keith, fondly and well. Comfort and the Lord’s presence to the family. Still recall Keith pulling up in his van the morning of 9/11 to let me know. Norma loved to go to the baby showers at our church. Safely home with Jesus.

We were sorry to hear of Norma’s passing. When I drove for V.O.N. we went a lot of miles together. She was a very gracious and caring lady and we will all miss her.

Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, Unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Norma brought so much affirmation and encouragement to all she met. She was a delight to me as I read to the seniors at the Day Centre. Her mind stayed alert to the end. Even though it was two to four weeks between readings, she remembered where we had left off and was anxious to hear the next installment. I will miss her greatly, but I’m sure you as her family will miss her more. Our prayers will be with you.
