We wanted to express our sympathies to you at this your time of grief we pray you be strengthened in the days ahead. We like to share a thought that gave us comfort. At Daniel 12:2 , “And many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up, some to everlasting life …” May this thought bring you comfort as it did our family during our time of loss.

one aunt I will never forget, she and my dad was the youngest of the family, and will be missed. very much, she would help anybody just like my dad. loved very much.
I remember her kindness to everyone. I remember her wit and her ability to make me laugh. Most of all–being able to talk about with her about anything. She was big on families staying together, and keeping up with family. She was my go-to person and I will forever miss her and hold her in my heart along with my mother Sylvia; her sister.
I remember how kind and thoughtful Norma was to us every time we visited or spoke. She will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have fond memories of your mother as she worked with you at St, Mike’s.
