Janet Mitchell posted a condolence

Friday, February 9, 2018

I want to express how sorry Iam for the familys loss. There are some very comforting words found in Gods Word, the Bible, at Acts the 17th. chapter, verses 24 & 25 where God is called "the source of life"......the One who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to our loved ones who have died. Another comforting scripture is found in the Bible book of Job, the 14th. chapter, verses 14 & 15. It speaks about how God longs to bring back those who are in His memory & see them live on earth again. I hope this brings the family comfort. My sincere condolence to you & yours.

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Norma through our weekly bowling league. I will miss her weekly hugs from her at bowling. She was a great friend to many of us and will be missed very much. Kevin Umlah

Dearest Bob and family, We are so sorry to hear of Norma's passing. You are both very special to us. Even though we don't see each other often you are still in our thoughts many times throughout the year and most especially at Christmas time. You treated us like family including us in cookie day. Meaghan still remembers the excitement of putting Jello decorations on the Jello tree. From time to time over the years I have run into Rhonda and asked how you all were doing. We hope your happy memories give you some comfort during this very sad time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Kelly, Graeme and Meaghan

I have nothing but fond memories of my aunty Norma, always up for a laugh, I remember many surprise visits, even ones I didn’t realize I was part of. It always meant so much to the sisters to have these visits together, and a lot of laughs ensued. You’ll be greatly missed, love Rob (aka Walter)

Norma was a great sister-in-law. Lots of fun and laughter particularly when she was with her sisters. She also had a very caring and compassionate side. I don't remember her ever saying anything harsh to anyone or about anyone. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Bob and Family, We are so very sorry for your loss. Norma was a kind and thoughtful person. She showed those qualities each week at Sunday Mass. Norma always took the time to say hello and ask my daughters as they grew up what was new and how they were doing. Emma and Bridget will miss that. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Bob, Emma & Bridget

My beautiful sister has brighten up heaven with her charm. She had a great love of the Lord. Like the song says “you can’t be a beacon if your light don’t shine”. Norma’s light shone on all of us. She touched the lives of everyone she met. She was a wonderful sister to me and I will miss her. She would always say when she left “I love you”. She was full of love. Love and blessings to the family. I love you all.

Uncle Bob and Family, I am sorry to hear of Aunt Norma's passing. I have many fond memories of all the visits over the years, particularly in the Maritimes, digging for clams and eating lobster. All of the surprise visits that the sisters did were the most fun! We will miss her lively personality and great sense of humor.

I am sad to hear for Norma's passing, but now she is at peace. I have many great memories of her from digging clams on the east coast , hanging out at the cottage there. Trying lobster for the first time. To the many surprise visits she was so good at. At my mom and dads 40 wedding anniversary it was nice to see them again and to find out both my wife and norma share the same birthday day. Kathy really hit it off with Norma and quite liked her. Blessings to you all in the coming days and months. I'm sure shes up there straightening out her brothers.

Dear Bob and family, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Norma. I have fond memories of our "Settle Family" days here, at our home on the lake, that both you and Norma attended. Norma was such a kind, friendly and gentle woman. I still make her "Chocolate Skor Trifle" recipe for special occasions. My husband Johnny passed only 4 months ago and life is very different now. We have to learn to adjust and go forward with our loving memories of them. Take care and lean on each other and be your own support group. God bless each of you. Sincerely, Cousin Bonnie.

Dear Bob - I was so saddened to learn of Norma's passing. I am walking your path of lonliness and tears having lost my dear John. We all realize one has to leave before the other but that doesn't make things any easier when you have a loving and happy marriage of such long standing. I know both you and Norma are devote Roman Catholics and I hope with the Priests help and prayers and family beside you, that you will be able to cope with this loss in your lives. Sincerely and my condolences to all the family - Joyce (cousin).
