Condolences to the family on Nora's passing. Many years ago, Marlene shared a residence with me and we used to have a Thanksgiving feast for all those that had no where else to go. Nora would always help us get the food ready and guide us through all that had to be done. As twenty somethings, we knew little about how much work went into putting the big meal together and getting it done all at the same time. Her help was immeasurable. Nora, may you rest in peace. Your life here on earth showed a true kindess and big heart.
I worked with Nora for many years at michigan rag company. What a beautiful lady inside and out. She was always cheerful and a joy to be around. Peg Mandrick
Sorry for your loss. I played euchre with Nora and we really had good times! May you find peace knowing she is out of pain and with her Heavenly Father.
