Norma was an avid reader, though she preferred company along with conversation & sharing of memories. She & Don were gracious hosts always offering a pastry or a beverage. Though Norma seemed to complain at times, it was evident she had a distant history that haunted her. Nonetheless the love of her life brought that self esteem back & gave her the love & comfort she desired in a lasting relationship. The last time I visited her we talked of how their reunion was soon to come & she smiled with assurance. May contentment & peace be with them both now & forever.
