Hello Pricilla,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I have some nice memories of her when we were young and we used to play in your yard when I would visit my Aunt Ester who didn't live that far away. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. Sincerely, Carol

Gordon, Cliff & Jude, Pricilla and family,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you. We have many neighborhood memories of you all. Norma was a very talented lady and was best known to us for her wonderful compasion and love for the neighborhood children. There wasn't a day our son Steve wouldn't run home to tell us that Mrs. Nelson fed him his second breakfast of french toast "made from home made bread"!! or toast from "Mrs. Nelsons home made bread" After Steve had his son Austin he couldn't wait to bring him down so Mrs. Nelson could see him and so Austin could taste Mrs. Nelsons..."Home made bread". Our thoughts and prayers go out to you today. Pauline & Jon Perreault

Gordon, Cliff & Jude, Pricilla and family,
My deepest sympathy to you.
Some of my fondest childhood memories were spent in your home at your kitchen table and with you and family. Norma, always keeping my plate full as I continue to eat her delicious homemade bread and waffles even after cliff had left me to go out and play.
An amazing woman, she will be missed.
