Condolences
Dad just forwarded Norma’s obituary and the picture of Norma grabbed my heart. It’s absolutely beautiful as was she — inside and out. I wish we could be there Saturday in person; Iwill be in thoughts and prayers. You can count on that.
A couple items that I cherish that Norma gave to me are 1) her bunny with an adorable blue penifore and 2) because Dick was a beekeeper, a counted cross stitched, framed picture of bees with a honeycomb and the words: “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb.” (That was indicative of Norma!— pleasant words, always.)
“Sweetness to the soul and health to the body.” Proverbs 16:24 Words to live by. I cherished them when Norma gave them to me and I cherish them even more now!
Take good care of yourselves always.
Hugs...........Sherry and Dick Foster
