Norma was my friend in two "arenas"--Jamestown Choral Society, where we sat next to each other in the soprano section for a few years. Our mutual love of the music we sang bonded us, and we soon became good friends. Lutheran Retirement Home, where I am a volunteer who visits residents is the other "arena." We had many good visits there, especially during her early years as a resident. We talked music, of course, caught each other up on mutual friends, and chatted about a number of other topics. The last of those visits was last Thursday (July 20); needless to say, we didn't chat much that day, but she did acknowledge my presence, uttering just a few words, and I felt that we did, indeed, share our continuing friendship. My deepest sympathy to you, her family; Norma and I were only friends for a few years, but I am grateful for the good times we did share in that time.
