Norma was one of the nicest ( and of the few intelligent) people In this building. She always had time for me whenever I had a personal problem and I will miss her so much. My only regret is that I did not spend more time with her.

Jeff,
Patty and I are very sorry for the passing of your mother. I didn't see it in the paper before the funeral or we would've passed on our condolence in person. You and your family are in our prayers.
