I will miss seeing you Aunt Norma! I know that you are in a better place. I could see the peace of God all over you the last night I saw you. I will always remember combing your hair as a little girl and even combing your hair in your hospital bed. We had grown so close. Taking you and mom to different places and out to each month will be memories that I will cherish. May the Lord comfort Uncle Kenny & Richie.
