Norma was a caring, gentle, warm friend, although unhappily, I have not seen her recently. Was greatly saddened to hear of her passing!
My warmest and heartfelt condolences to all of her children and their families., and friends.
Peter and Family I am so sorry to see this. I was away last week and did not know of your mothers passing. She was a great friend to my Mom and I had the pleasure of driving them to bridge together over the last years they were playing. Norma was always pleasant and lots of great conversation such a lovely gentle woman and a true and dear friend. My love and prayers to you all. I know it is difficult but these ladies lived great full lives and we have wonderful memories to sustain us.
Peter and family, loosing a parent is always difficult. You have a lifetime of memories to cherish.
Paul and family
Very sorry to hear the passing of your mother, you have our deepest condolences.
I first meant Norma when I lived next door to her and Dr. Johnny on Allendale Road. about 68 years ago. She was a young Mother with the most beautiful rosy complexion I had ever seen.. Norma let me visit and hold her tiny babies.. Norma went to high school with my Mother Nataline and they remained good friends all their lives.. So we were in touch often through the years.. Loved her style as she was quite a lady and an excellent cook.. I will always think of you as a gem of a woman. I will miss you Norma.
Peter, and family

Deepest condolences for the loss of such a lovely and gracious lady.
I was a neighbor for many years at the Brentwood. A lovely lady. She will be missed by many.
Whenever Norma walked down Falkland St, on a stroll with John or on her way to play bridge, her smile lit up the neighborhood.. I admired her: she was tall, elegant and graceful . She often stopped for a chat and with her calm and gentle way she made me feel embraced.. I cherish these memories of Norma . It was a privilege to be her neighbour..
David, Peter and Paul, please accept my sincere condolences.

I had the pleasure ok getting to know Norma at Brentwood and I have to say she was a lovely Lady and a joy to be in her company. God bless l her.
Aunt Norma was a great lady. I always enjoyed her company as she was always pleasant with a perpetual smile on her face.
In later years I saw very little of her but growing up we saw her quite frequently and always enjoyed her and Uncle Johns visits. She will be missed after a long and meaningful life.
