Thank you mom so much for giving me a such a sense of love, security, and the confidence to to know I can. You were a force that’s unmatched. Fly high mom.
A special lady with a huge heart and lots of Love,always concerned about everyone ,helping others out,cooking food for people,she loved her family, and has lots of extended family and friends ,she always treated everyone so kind,anything I could ever say about Norma is how caring she always was,rest in paradise my dear friend.You definitely have an Army that you left behind.
Grange always showed me nothing, but the utmost respect and consideration. Since day one she accepted me with open arms. At a time when I felt like I had nobody to turn to and nowhere to go, she always made me feel like family. For that, she will forever be loved and missed. I will always carry the memories in my heart. RIP Norma
