Mom you left big shoes to fill, life lessons to follow and a hole in our hearts for memories to pour into. I am proud to have been your son and love you to eternity. I will miss your voice messages when you missed me on the phone.
So many wonderful memories of all the summer family gatherings we had in North Dakota. I loved the times, Aunt Norma, when you and Uncle Duane would make the drive up and we were all there together at Grandma's little house. I always found it amazing how Grandma managed to make room for all of us. We grandchildren slept everywhere -- in the attic, in the pantry, on the floor. We could hardly move around the house without running into one another, but we had the park, the pool -- the whole town -- where we could run about. Norma, you will always be in all these memories.
Mom, we had so many talks in our lives together about life,family,cooking, your latest craft project, religion, people we knew (our own friends). You taught me so many things and gave me so many gifts (not the materialistic kind) along the way. I have so many pictures to remember you by, so many recipes to remember my favorite meals you cooked, your journals to remember your points of view, your wisdom & your sense of humor. What I didn't end up with was unlimited messages of hearing your voice & laughter! I will miss that the most. I wish I could have hugged you one last time. I know I will be with you again through Jesus Christ Almighty...until then watch over Dad, Tony and me and our love ones. I love you Mom
Norma and I spent many hours together at her bedside, just talking and being together. There wasn't any need for pretense or an agenda, only to share precious memories of our lives, and to recognize each other as friends in life with Jesus as our guide. I would take pictures on my daily walks of the neighborhood we share and show them to her to connect her with the world outside her walls, and I think she liked that. What a blessing she was to me, and I looked forward to seeing her (and Duane) every week, and plan to see her every day in Glory in the presence of the Lord and all our friends and family. Till then, dear Norma...
