My deepest condolences Sheila on losing your sister. From what I read, she was a kind and gentle soul like you. It must have been a very difficult Christmas for you without her. May the wonderful memories you shared and bring you peace of heart. Hugs.❤️
I knew Norma best when we were young children, growing up in Victoria, BC. Along with her sister, Sheila, and her brother, Joe, I remember we all had lots of fun together. We ran up and down the stairs in her house while playing hide and seek. We enjoyed sleep-overs. And spent summers jumping over the sprinklers, and riding our bikes around the neighbourhood. Norma, you have a special place in my heart. With fond memories and deep sadness. Love from Lu Ann
Norma Jean will be missed. I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with Norma Jean. She had a quiet, intentional presence that let you know that she cared about each person in the room. My sympathies as family and friends grieve and and remember Norma Jean.
Norma Jean, was an amazing fun loving woman, who was so close to her sister. Her laugh was contagious, and her demeaned was soft and friendly just like her sister Sheila. She will be sorely missed by all those who knew her. She was kind, courageous, and a pleasure to know. Now Norma, is doing gods work from the heavens above. She is gone from this earth, but she will be forever in the depths of the hearts of all that knew her. My sincere condolences to her family, for their incredible loss. May you find peace in knowing, she is now doing gods work, from above. Remember Norma Jean, would never want you to be sad or upset that she is gone, as she may be gone in the human form, but she is looking down on you as an angel from above. RIP Norma Jean.
On behalf of Norma Jeans family we say a HUGE thank you to all of you for taking time out of your busy days to share such thoughtful generous sentiments.
It is with great surprise that we at the "Living Room" heard about the passing of recent member Norma Jean. Her bright eyes and smile will be missed. However, I did have the pleasure of witnessing her public baptism just a few weeks before. Praise the LORD! On behalf of the group, I send the family our deepest condolences and remind you that she's at peace in the presence of Our Lord Jesus. Hugs to you all as you grieve the physical loss of our dear Norma Jean.
Praying you'll find comfort in the knowledge that Norma Jean is with her Lord and Saviour whom she loved. She had such a quiet and gentle spirit and will be missed.
Norma was a seeeeeeeeet, special human being. It was good to have her around. Never heard her complaining. Always smiling. Until we meet you in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are With the family.
Norma may be one of the most gentle and grateful woman of all time. Her quiet spirit and joy filled smile were a blessing to those who passed by her or even deeper for those who knew her. May her memory bring happiness and encouragement to enjoy each moment or life and to live it to the fullest. We don't know what tomorrow may bring but have faith we know who holds tomorrow.
my deepest regards
We were so sorry to hear of Norma's passing. Our sincere condolences to her entire family. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
My heart was so saddened by the sudden loss of Norma, whom I luckily met and celebrated Thanksgiving together with. May the fond memories of Norma bring smiles and comfort to her sister Sheila and other loved ones. Norma, You will be a shining star in the night sky, You’ll be the dancing snowflakes in winter, You’ll be the gentle breeze in summer... You’ll be everything that embrace us with love. Norma, Rest In Peace. Norma, you will be truly missed.
I personally miss Norma's gentle presence very much. She often said 'oh it's a magical evening tonight' as we walked to the car. That will always bring me a smile. Our family would happy to receive your messages online as we remember our sweet Norma Jean. Thank you for your love and encouragement at this difficult time. Not sure how I would have coped without such faithfulness.
I am so proud to have been a very good friend to Norma almost 30 yrs. Norma brought the smile in anyone she could, she got involved in baking, knitting for the church or friends, you will be so sadly missed.
