This is and was my mom. Mom it will be 5 years since you've been gone. I think about you every minute of everyday. There is so much I needed to say But your life was cut short by the man who claimed to love you. Forgive me for not questioning his actions. I love you

So sorry to hear of Norma's passing. I will always remember all the fun we had with she and Frank in the 1980s. It's sad when good friends fall apart for no good reasons. We'll always treasure the times we had and always remember her radiant smile and laugh. Norma was such a good person and I'm blessed to have known her.
