    I am so sorry to read about your loss. I have known Norma for many years. She is the one that got me into ceramics and helped me make a doll that looked like each one of my 3 children. The oldest is 27 and the youngest is 21. When I look at my dolls I think of her. We had many talks throughout the years. She was a wonderful lady and will always be remembered. May God be with her family. She is at rest now. ( I live her in Barrineau Park) Shelia a freind
