Noryce was a very important part of our church and will be missed. She was a lovely lady and friend and was always there to help and smile. It is comforting knowing she is with her Savior and out of the pain of this life.

I worked with Noryce many years ago at the first large law firm where I had ever been. Being young, I was confused about many of the procedures the larger firms had vs the smaller firms where I had worked before. Noryce was there to lend a hand and provide guidance to me as the younger person who I was at that time. She was a fantastic mentor and someone who I always felt comfortable being around. She was kind and compassionate to me and helped me to grow in my journey as a younger person who was getting started with their career. I will always be grateful to her for the kindness she showed to me. I have often thought of her throughout the years, and I guess it was because of the positive impression and impact she made on me at the time when I needed it most. I know without a doubt God shall welcome her into His greatness, just as she welcomed others, and that she will be at peace forevermore, because of the peaceful kindness she showed unto others. I pray God will bless her friends and family in abundance during this time of grief, and that they will be comforted in spirit, body, soul, and mind...now, and in the time to come. It was truly *my privilege* to know Noryce Medley.
