There are not enough words to describe all the wonderful things I loved about Norma. She was my “other” mother, my friend, and my defender! Her faith was an inspiration to me. I will miss her terribly; and, she will be in my heart forever! I know I will see her again someday in heaven! With all my love…..Martha
