Aunt Norma, You will always be remembered in our family for your kind sweet spirit and infectious laugh! Thank you for being a wonderful wife to Uncle John and a great Mom to Teresa and Stanley. I know you have added so much joy in these last years to all the grand children and great grandchildren I do not know as well. We join in the celebration of your life from a distance and hold your family in our prayers because you will be sorely missed. Hopeful that your parting allows you to experience what we put our hope and faith in, its not the end but just a new beginning. God bless and keep you, Aunt Norma, we love you!
Stanley and Teresa, and family, I join you and the rest of the family in commemorating your mom’s life. Though I did not know her well, I never saw her exhibit anything other than a positive, lighthearted, non-anxious demeanor. She was a delight to be with. May those of us who remain exhibit a similar faith, hope and love.
Dear Stanley and Teresa, I am so sorry for your loss. Norma was a sweet lady and I am grateful to have had her in my life. She was cheerful and helpful always.
Sincerely, Sandra Karr (Eula’s daughter)
