Pat and family,
We were so sad to hear the news . Our family was lucky to know Norma and enjoy her laugh and smile. She was a wonderful friend to our Mom and her kindness will be missed by all that knew her. Pat, Norma, Ken and Marlene enjoyed many card games, drinks and dinners over the years and could count on each other when needed. Please know we are thinking of you at this difficult time.

I’m so sorry to hear that my aunt Norma has passed. Due to conflict in the family (Joan) my sister and I never got to know her and all the things she loved. Aunt Norma I never ever forgot you may you rest in peace

Please forgive the delay in providing my sincerest condolences. I had loss touch over the last several years and I was unaware that Norma “Auntie Norma” as I called her when I was child, had passed away. I am so sad to know that the world is without her light, her compassion and humor. I will cherish all my memories of weddings, get togethers, and dancing the “slosh” in the Cedarvale living room close to my heart. Rest in peace. XO
