To the entire Parsons family,
We cannot express the sadness we feel to lose our dearest friend and neighbour Norma. Edward St. has not been the same since she left her precious home in May. She is a remarkable woman in every way. We have so many precious memories of Norma..our chats on the front porch, the boys visiting Norma and the dish of jujubes, the black hair suddenly turning grey…gosh we are going to miss her so much. although its been awhile now without Norma and Doug sitting on the front porch it will forever be a vision in our minds and hearts that we will never forget. Norma is with Doug and Mike now. Take comfort in yourselves and each other that your family is one is a million and remember your Mom,Grandma,Great Grandma for the remarkable woman she will be forever known for. WE MISS YOU NORMA..xoxo
