My Loving thoughts go out to the the Family. I remember Norma at my brother, Brian and his wife, Kim’s wedding. She was such a lovely and gracious person. “ I will not forget you. I have written your name on the palms of my Hands”. - Isaiah 49:15-16

So grateful for Norma. I had the privilege of spending 10 great years with her and Bob as their son-in-law. She always treated me like her son. I am so glad that today she is in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.

I was blessed to have a mother-in-law who loved the Lord deeply and cared for me as if I was her son.
