I’m so happy I got to spend time with Aunt Norma a few years ago. It had been far too long with the distance. Aunt Norma was always kind and loving and she never was afraid to share what she was thinking. I appreciated that in her. She was strong and her strength encouraged me. I am so grateful to have been raised with her in my life.
I’m going to miss those beautiful penetrating blue eyes. The light she embodied danced in them. That is how she will always be remembered by me.
I love and miss you all.

Norma was one of our long-time patrons at the Grandview Heights Public Library where I work. I have fond memories of her and Tom's library visits. They were always engaging, always had stories to share, and often brought me vanilla pizzelles and biscotti for no special reason. They were some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. My deepest condolences to Norma's family and friends.
