“Norma you were one of a kind. She was a sour patch kid. Sweet and Sour. She was only sour when she needed to be. She was a good listener and can make you laugh no matter what kind of day you had. She told it like it was. Her kids and grandkids were her life. And her heart belonged to Albert. Norma I am going to miss you and my life was better because our paths crossed. Prayers for the family. May God continue to give them strength. 🙏”
