I worked at Grace with Norma. She was a wonderful nurse. She helped deliver joy.
So sorry to have lost my sweet Aunt. I will miss her so much. I enjoyed our talks. I’m so thankful I visited last year. When I walked in and we sat down together I had to hold back tears she looked just like my mom. Thankful she is in the arms of Jesus. Also rejoicing with all her family. Jennifer you are such a strong women, your grandmama bragged about you. Uncle Herb so sorry you’ve lost your soul mat of 66 years. My prayers are with all the family. She will be so missed. Love Beverly❤️✝️🙏🙌
Dearest Herb, family and friends, Heaven has gained a saint. I loved the conversations we had. Such a classy lady. May God grant you all a special peace as you navigate the grieving process.
