Dear Fred and Lisa,

This was beautifully written and a perfect testimony to Norma's great heart. The picture also captures her so well, with the wetland at Huntley Meadows in the background.

All my thoughts are with you. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a friend and protector to all, and I will miss her dearly.

Love from,
Kathleen

Dear Fred: I am so saddened by Norma's passing. It leaves a vacuum in my and many lives. I say that despite the fact that I had only occasionally met her. The blessing for me is my Reporter and past political activities made it possible to have the privilege of getting to know her. My Connection News Profiles of her was very special for me. An opportunity to tell the stories of Norma that I wish everyone would read to get to know her, how she felt about different things, and to share in the wonderment of Norma's vision and philosophy. Long before these recent years covering her as a Reporter I became acquainted with Norma in connection with her leadership and successful efforts to save Huntley Meadows Park.Norma always gave me the feeling that I was special; and that was part of her genius. She was loved by all who came in contact with her. My thoughts and prayers for her and for you and your family. Sincerely, Jerry

I am so sorry about Mrs. Norma's passing. She was a beautiful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful neighbor, friend, and advocate. She will truly be missed by our little cul-de-sac. I can't even imagine not seeing the two of you together. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you.
Blessings and much peace,
Best regards,
