There were many friends that made Norma's life worth living. Her visit with Ruth's children, Catherine and Grace, gave her a huge enjoyment that never faded. As a longtime volunteer, the friendships and comradery at Children's Hospital was another great enjoyment for Norma. The love and enthusiasm she had reading to the young children at the hospital always gave her a since of purpose and lasting friends. Norma created many tight friendships with the workers and volunteers at Children's Hospital which became part of her family. Another love and additional friendships came when she volunteered for the Miracle League of New Orleans, an organization that provides sporting opportunities for disabled children. Norma touched the hearts of many people, whether it was the men that worked on her car at the mechanic shop down the street or the workers at the various bars and restaurants we went to. Norma, you will be missed.
