Wishing the family peace as you make this life transition. Losing a mom/gramma is always a "big deal" no matter what the circumstances. I would have been at the service for sure but was away on vacation. I have many memories of your mom (and your dad too before his passing) at Norma and Howard's for dinner often for special occasions such as birthdays. Love and Blessings to all Irma - Posted by: Irma Nadeau (Sister to Norma Bettess) on: Feb 02, 2014
