I always felt happy visiting Norma.  She was sure of herself and had a mischievous sense of humour.   We visited her at the hospital in Tatamagouche once and Paula had given her a kiss.  Norma looked at me and asked me if i would also give her a kiss – on the neck!  Early on in our relationship, I had announced that I was a communist.  Norma simply told me to ‘smarten up.”  I have fond memories of her and will miss her.  Yet, writing a little bit about her puts a smile on my face.  Knowing her was a blessing.
