See Condolences

I will always remember Norma for her joyful and kind heart, and for her advice on essential oils (peppermint!). I knew her from my work with Shiro, and my visits to see them at the Healthcare center in Basking Ridge. Rest in peace Norma.

Dean and I send our condolences to Norma's family and to her many friends who are saddened by her passing. We, too, feel a sense of loss. In retrospect, we have gained so much from our friendships with Norma, Shiro, and their family. Norma and I became close friends in the '70's when our husbands worked at Bell Labs.Since then, we have had many happy times together, sometimes with their family and ours. The last time I saw Norma was four years ago, before Dean and I moved from NJ to PA. Tama and Will planned a goodby lunch for us at an Asian restaurant. When we met in the parking lot, Norma took my hand and held it for a long time. We stood there, in silence, feeling the love flowing flowing between us. Blessings to Norma's sweet, kind, generous, loving soul.

Dear Family, Sorry for your loss! I met Norma many years ago when I went to an Essential Oil Intro meeting and there she was with that wonderful smile on her face and we became friends! I was able to visit her once at the home in NJ and we had a great time catching up! I am thankful to have had the opportunity to meet Norma! love, Ernestine
