Norma and Dave were the best neighbors that we have ever had.They watched our kids grow up and even some of our grand kids.They both were helpful and thoughtful people. When Norma lost her husband,she showed her inner strength. She still kept her interests and lived her life fully.We are proud to have called them our friends and we loved them.We are so sorry for the loss that her family have experienced but she will live on in our hearts and memories, just as Dave did when the world lost his light. - Posted by: Lawrence and Esther Laviolette and family (neighbors) on: Feb 19, 2017
