Missing you doesn't even begin to describe it Aunt Norma :( I'm blessed to have had you as my aunt as you was my favorite. I enjoyed the stories you told me of how things were when you was younger cause you knew I was into history and more of an old soul in a young man's body. Love and miss you beyond belief..........till we meet again in heaven someday.
Norma, we arrived in Florida after Thanksgiving. Understand you were the life of the party at Jane's with your jokes and stories. That doesn't surprise me as you were full of fun. We didn't see you daily but still miss you very much and think of you often. Enjoy the extension of your life and rest in peace.

Norma you was the best cousin I could ever have asked for. I will cherish all of our laughs and all of your funny jokes that you told me. I will miss hearing about all of our past relatives lives and their stories that they gave to you to share. I promise you I will get the photo album done and hopefully remember all of their names and the stories you shared with me about them. I want the rest of our family to know them how I got to hear all that you shared with me about them. I know you are at peace now in heaven with all of them. And I can just hear you telling them everything even the crazy things that we would get into. lol. I am so much going to miss you and all of our fun we did get to have and share. I will always thank God for you and allowing you to be in my life as long as I have. RIP love, many hugs and loads of kisses being sent up to you and everyone that has gone before you that are in heaven.
Norma, looking at this picture of you when you were 25 years old, you were beautiful then as well as you were at 92. You were so blessed to have such a wide variety of friends ranging in age from 4 to 90. That's a tribute to your personality, warmth, caring, generosity, and general all around goodness. We will miss your laughter, jokes, kindness to animals, advice, feistiness, cooking, and banana bread. We were truly fortunate to be a part of your life. I will miss our daily earthly phone conversations, but will be looking upward now while talking to you. I hope you were aware how much you were loved. We'll miss you so much. Love, Jane Gonser and family.
Norma was a dear friend and a blessing to all who knew her. She lived a long life, she touched all who knew her with her vibrant personality and her wit - - she will be dearly missed, especially her little dog Missy.
She had a great sense of humor, shared wonderful stories and had a deep faith and love of God. Her pets were her children and she always said that the good Lord didn't bless her and Bill with children but her pets were always her greatest joy. Norma did'nt complain, but she missed her beloved husband Bill who passed away more than 30 years ago. She lived a wonderful life on her terms and was blessed with good freinds, family and great four legged children.
May God continue to bless you and keep you in his heart now that you and Bill are reunited in Heaven. I love you my friend - - thank you for your inspiration and for sharing your life lessons with me. Thank you from the all the aniamls and Your SPCA Tampa Bay Family.

Norma, you were a true friend to my family and me, and will be missed so much. We will miss your beautiful smile, your warm and caring personality, your colorful stories, your sense of humor, your banana bread, your guidance, your love for animals and, yes, your feistiness. Please know that Missie will be loved and protected per your instructions. Our daily conversations will continue, Norma, but I'll be looking upward when talking to you now. Love You, Norma. Jane Gonser and family.
