"Norma--our tough cookie, our little English Rose...we will miss you terribly. You were our friend, our mentor, our sister and our "Mom"; our luck at Bingo and our ruthless Farkle player. You were also our strength and our inspiration. Many many thanks to your family for sharing you with us. --Love you, from your friends at Cherrywood"
