Dear Bob amd children:
Norma and I met in Gregory grammar school, were best friends until I moved to Los Angeles. Bob, you met Norma at my sweet 16th birthday party.
We lived next door to each other in Wilmette and shared substitue teaching days together--each baby sitting for the other on work days. We walked our babies together, shopped, cooked and loved being together.
Norma was a very bright and caring friend.
I send my heartfelt condolences to you and know you treasure many happy memories of a wonderful wife and mother

As ever,
Sandy Balson Goldman

I was shocked and saddened by the news of Norna's death. Although contact has been spotty over the years, I have only the best memories of Norma going back to my childhood. She was always happy with a sunny disposition. She will be missed!

Dear Bob and family...It is with deep sorrow that Donna & I learn of Norma's passing...words cannot express the loss we feel but, thankfully, memories of times spent together allow the vibrance of who Norma was to remain ever present in our thoughts...
