"Norma was a wonderful mom. I have many great memories of visiting Leon, but sitting at the Kitchen Table with her and just chatting. Always had a smile, took the time and made you feel at home immediately. Heavens a bit brighter now! Alfred can finally give his famous laugh and welcome her to the great reward. Best thoughts to all the family, she was an incredible person."
In loving memory of
