I was greatly shocked & saddened to hear that Norma had passed away...
Wow, where to start. I always considered Norma to be my "Other Mother". Growing up....it seemed she was always just across the street.
Back before the days of seatbelt laws, I remember her & my mom packing all of us kids into the car and driving to Missouri to visit Grandma Daisy. Just thinking about it, I wonder how they kept their sanity? I'm sure that all of us kids drove them nuts.
Then there was the time when Rhonda & I were old enough to know that there was no Santa Claus, and decided to snoop at the presents we knew they had bought. But Norma & Mom pulled a fast one on us....they hid Rhonda's presents at my house and mine at her house. Boy were we shocked on Christmas morning!
Norma was there for me during those diffcult times growing up. She always seemed to know the right things to say or do. I know that she knew things about me that I never told my Mom. And if Norma told her, Mom never let on that she knew.
As we all got older, got married, had kids & went to work....we did not get to see each other as much. But, Norma is and always will be family to me.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers....

We were all very sorry to hear about Norma's passing...
I know we were not able to get together more as the years went by, the kids grew, and everyone became busy in their own lives. There are alot of memories that both the kids and I will always have of her.
She was always there when someone needed to talk, she would listen and offer straight forward advice. She told it like it was, and that got several of us through rough times in life.
All our Love and Thoughts are with you,

I am sorry to hear about Norma's passing. She will be missed very much by everyone that knew her. Growing up with Norma around was great and I know that having her in my life was one of the best things that could have happened to me. I loved her as a mom and an aunt and a friend all in one person and knew that she would never give me any platitudes..telling me straight out about things and not sugar coating it. She could be depended on to set me straight and keep me in line growing up. I will miss her very much. I wish we could have seen you all more than every few years. Please accept my condolences and if there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to call, write, or email me. With all my love, Jami Kenoyer-Scott
