I have always admired Norma and had a very special part of my heart captured by her. Through the years, we have gone from just being related to being related as very dear friends. Her creativeness and ability to touch our lives has been very special. I will miss all of our little talks filled with her wisdom and just the right way of making our conversations meaningful. She always has kept me up to date on Emily and Andrew as well as the difficult times facing her. Norma always had a positive outlook and way of looking at life. Looking around, as I sit here, I notice the silk painting she gave me, and remember her telling me how to frame it...in a a hoop. I think of her often and wear some of her lovely creations proudly. Remembering back many years ago, her parents, Aunt Essie and Uncle Mac would be so excited waiting for her visits with Emily.....Lots of fun memories such as the time I drove the city wise Norma through a car wash in Miami.....I thought she was so worldly, yet we laughed hysterically because she had never been through one. Dearest Norma you will be with us always.
