I was so sad to see Norma's passing. Her aunt, Wilma (Burtie) was my stepmother and Norma was a devoted caregiver to her. She was soft spoken and loved all those around her. I failed to keep in touch with her but did think of her often. Was gonna call...you all undertatnd how that is. You have my sincerest sympathies. I know you will all miss her dearly.
