I was very much saddened to see this news in the newspaper. I used to work with "for"[we always used to joke that we worked "for" each other] Norma at State Farm many years ago...before they moved to West Des Moines. We had such fun times and many happy memories. She truly was a special person we are all blessed to know. After we moved from the area, I would think about her often. She was someone you just didn't forget, and I loved her, too.
You have my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolescences.

Norma was such a special friend and will be missed so much! I want Debbie and Pam to know I am keeping them in my prayers at this time. I know your Mom is at peace after this long fight with this terrible disease.
Just wanted to let you know that others care and are thinking of you both.
