Robin - I just wanted to stop by and say I'm so sorry to hear about "Aunt" Norma. I will always remember how close she and Mama were, and when I was little how either me and Mama were at her house, or she came to Mama's and they would spend hours talking. I always loved the sound of her voice. You're in my prayers cousin and love you - Jay
