My sincere sympathy to Norma's family. I went to St. Bruno grade school and Kelly High School with her and we shared many good times. It was a shock to read of her death in the paper. My prayers are with you all.

Dear Holly & Family,
I was saddened to hear of Norma's passing.
She was such a good woman and I enjoyed my time with her at Eastern. She trained me in many aspects of the job, esp. the daunting task of scheduling and catering.
She was always professional and I admired her no nonsense attitude about her job.
Please accept my sympathy. She was one of those people who touched my life.
