May you find comfort from God at this time

My condolences to you Paul. After reading the wonderful messages from the cousins I regret that we never had the chance to visit Arkansas as a child. But I remember your family visiting us a couple of times on Oakdale in Decatur. It was always special and as a young child I remember your "southern  accents".  Well I've lived in Nashville Tennessee for over 20 years and I'm fixin' to get one for myself. Whether I like it or not. I am sorry for your loss and in being reminded of Norma reminds me of all her brothers and sisters and how blessed I feel to have known them and to be a part of this family. Peace to you and your family.

Cousin Paul and Family, my sympathy to you. Your parents were a great couple! They were both fun to be around and very loving people. Memories of your family visits to Illinois always bring a smile to my face. Sincerely Janet (Skelley) Schable

Paul,

We are saddened to hear of Aunt Norma passing. We loved coming to Little Rock for vacation, playing in the creek, visiting with all-ya'all, going to breakfast after Mass and watching Pop & Uncle Bud fight over the check. Aunt Norma and Uncle Bud will always have a special place in our hearts and memories.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in TX.
Love,
Jack & Leslie Skelley

Aunt Norma was my godmother, happy and fun to be with and still very alive in my earliest memories as the "first grandchild" in the family. She, Aunts
Marian and Yvonne, included me in their shopping trips downtown Decatur.
I would sit watching them try on clothes in the department stores, knowing there would be lunch at Walgreens and new paper dolls before 
we took the bus home to the house on
Oakland. Three wonderful ladies !
I thank God for the great gift of Aunt
Norma in my life!  - "little" Rosemary

'Cuz' and family,
 Our prayers are with you and her. The "Arkansas Skelley" family was a large  part of my childhood, and greatly influenced my ultimate career. I will remember Norma and Bud fondly, forever.

Cousin Paul, Debbie, Robin, Adam and Katie
My condolences on Aunt Norma's passing. I always looked forward to the family trips to Little Rock as a youngster, and will always have many fond memories of the visits. I always looked up to Aunt Norma and Uncle Bud as role models - good people worthy of emulation.

Paul & Debbie,
I recall our visits to Bud & Norma's place there in Little Rock as a kid.  Always hot there in the summer, but Norma's smile was even warmer.  Always seemed to keep us busy, and lots of things to do.  Norma loved her Pepsi, and us Skelley kids helped her drink it.
I only have fond memories of Norma.  She will truely be missed.

So sorry to hear about Aunt Norma. She was a great lady and of course my father's twin.

Paul&Debbie
You have my deepest sympathy.  I have such special memories of Aunt Norma, Uncle Bud's and "Little Paul's visits to Decatur. My prayers are with you.
