    Michaela and Family,
    I miss Norma already. We worked together for years at Capitol. I enjoyed our conversations so much. I know how much faith Norma had for Christ, so I know the Lord welcomed her with open arms. Sending prayers for you and your family that God will keep you close in the days ahead.

    We feel blessed to have shared time in this life with Norma. I will miss Norma saying “hey sister how’s it going?” I will miss seeing her everyday first thing in the morning sharing coffee and conversation. I loved her like a sister❇

    There are no words to express my condolences to you and all of your family. I work at WSOS and I have known Norma for several years, even though I did not work closely with her but I have been in several events with her and she was a friend, co-worker and an awesome Home Visitor. I will be praying for peace and comfort to you.

    Oh Norma you will be missed so much. We had so much fun when we roomed together at conference this year. You were a kind person that brought so much laughter and knowledge to our home based teacher meetings. You stood up for everyone and made sure things were done fairly. Heaven is richer because such a good person has joined our Heavenly Father. Bless you Norma for being who you were. Saying prayers for your daughter, who you spoke of with so much pride and love and to all those whom lives you touched in your journey through life. My heart is sad because you will no longer be among us.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Norma at WSOS. She was so caring and wanted to help everyone in any way she could. She always looked out for the children and families of WSOS especially those she served. She touched so many lives and brought happiness to everyone she met. I am blessed to have worked with her.

    Michaela and family,
    It has been a long time since I have visited with Norma and it just seems like yesterday that we were together at Capitol Plastics. She was one of my inspectors and worked very hard. Always cheerful and would have us all laughing in stitches. I do miss that! I am so sorry for your loss. She will be missed not only by her family but all who knew her. I feel blessed that she was a part of my life. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
    May God bless you,
    Judy White

    Michaela and Family,
    My life was made better by just being Norma’s friend. We still stayed close even after no longer working together. My whole family loved her and was always glad to see her. I will never ever forget her.

    I wanted to send my sympathy to Norma’s family. I had Norma as a student at Vanguard and she was a great student, one I always remembered with a smile. I am confIdent she matured into an amazing adult. Please accept my sympathy. I will keep Norma’s family in my prayers.

    Michaela, am so sorry you have my deepest sympathy. To the Arriaga & Nickelson families, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Norma told me she loved kids and I’m sure they will miss her at WSOS. She was always kind hearted and loved to laugh. God bless you all and may you be comforted by knowing that she is in heaven.
