My heart goes out to the whole family of Mrs Warren. I had the pleasure of meeting her once and can definitely say that I wish I could have had more chances to meet with her. Sincerely, with deepest condolences, Davey Martinez
How nice to finally put a face with a name I’ve lifted in prayer so many times and what a beautiful face it is. Blessings to each of Norma’s family and friends and Praise God that her battle is over, she did not suffer and is remembered by so many in such a loving way. May you find comfort in knowing you will see her again.
So sorry to hear of the death of Norma. God be with you in this time of sorrow.

Today after attending Norma’s funeral I feel compelled to write here about what a wonderful sister she was to us. She’s really our sister in law, but over the years she became so much a part of our lives. Her love and generosity will be remembered by so many people. In talking to me she’d call me honey and was always so gentle and kind. I’ll miss that beautiful voice. She was already sick when our Mom died last year and now they are together. We miss them both so much. Love to Bobby and promises to help him if I may. Love you, Loretta
We are so sorry for the loss of your loved one.
