It is always hard to loose a part
Of someone who means a lot to your heart
And it is never easy to say good-bye
When tears are what fills your eyes

But know God only takes the best
No longer are they considered a guest
For they are here on earth for a while
To comfort others with a loving smile

And that is exactly what Norma brought
So much in life for us she had taught
She gave with her whole entire being
And looked beyond what her eyes were seeing

It mattered not how much pain her body wore
Others hearts she continued on to explore
She gave everything she had to others
Considered each one of us as sisters and brothers

She left footprints in everyone's heart she met
Norma's love we will never be able to forget
And even at the very end she gave it her all
Memories of her poetry we will be able to recall

And now she went to be in God's loving grace
Giving to so many something valuable to embrace
Her time on earth was our greatest reward
And now we must release her to the Lord

From our lives Norma will never be gone
In our hearts her memory will live on
For what she has given to us is a treasure
Something of which time could never measure

A sweet and caring angel has now risen above
We have been very blessed by her love
And now with the other Angels she will roam
In a place she will now call her home.
