Dear family, my condolences to you, and many happy memories of Norma be with you all. But if sadness comes, may these promises from Jehovah God help you to endure. "Do not be anxious....but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."

Knowing that she has met her Maker is our comfort at this time. Thankful that she loved Jesus and knowing that we will see her again. Norma was always so sweet, putting up with us teenagers in Iran. I'm thankful to have known her. Prayers of peace to all the friends and family during this time. The Newbys

My heart rejoices that we know Norma is with John Paul, Nancy, Agnes, and Wiley. Also now Norma is walking down the streets of gold, in no more pain. I always looked forward to Sunday School, she was always right by my side. We would snuggle up unmet blanket or Judy's sweater. I'm praying for all of you.
