I just heard of your mother's passing and I extend my deepest sympathies. Your mother was my co-worker for many years. In district 130. I met her as a younger teacher and she looked after me and helped me in many ways. I still lived with my parents on 85th and Throop and she and I sometimes offered one another rides to and from school. I c@n still hear her laughter (it filled a room). She was of a woman with grace and style.

Your mom was my teacher at Sanders School for 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. She was the most wonderful gracious person. Your mom was the first person to believe in my talents, even when I had no idea what those were.
She was my niece's music teacher at Paul Revere School many years later and I came to a performance the students gave and I got to talk to Mrs. Occomy for the first time in years. It was as if no time had passed. She remembered all of us. Well she recognized my parents right away but not me. It took her several minutes to believe it was really me. I wish I could have talked to her again after that.
Several times over the years I tried to reach out to her but wasn't able to reach her.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Please express my sympathy to all of your family. Thank all of them for sharing her with all of us over the years.

I knew Norma for 53 years. She was always a kind, sweet, loving person that loved everyone. She was genuinely smart and a worker at heart in every task she encountered.
She enjoyed life, especially Bridge but her jewels were her Children.
May she rest in sweet peace!

Norma no doubt was very gifted as well as a standout in her community and loved and cherished others as much as she was loved. Please accept my condolences. Please find comfort in these words at Isaiah 5:5-7 that speak of a future time but a future that is very near.
