    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Norma will be missed by family and friends, but she will not be forgotten by our heavenly father Jehovah. I hope these words found at (John 5:28,29) that there will be a resurrection bring comfort knowing that you have an opportunity to see her again. (Psalms 37:29)

    Norma’s father Art and my mother Annabelle were brother and sister. While visiting JoAnn Gonzalez at Country Side I had the opportunity to chat with Norma. She gave me lots of family history during our talks. She told me she stayed with me while my mother was in the hospital giving birth to my brother. I did stop by her room on Dec. 7th and did talk briefly with her. Norma was a gentle, kind person. I’m proud that we came from the same blood line. And I know her family was good to her and she appreciated their love and concern.
