Norma Thomas

To the Thomas Family:

I remember Aunt Norma visiting us in Cleveland, calling Julie and me "sugar" and sitting under Clara's giant hair dryer...after rolling grape leaves with Frieda. I am sorry for your loss, and grateful for those childhood memories of a truly wonderful woman we were fortunate enough to know, if only briefly. You are in my thoughts today.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Love ya, Craig, Claudia and Sarina. You have such a sweet family.

Steve, Debbie Crain & family

Sharon, Johnny, Ricky, Karla, & Craig:

I am so very sorry for you loss -- for all of our loss. Aunt Norma opened her home to me. I grew up in Aunt Norma & Uncle C.B.'s house. You all are my brothers and sisters. Aunt Norma took Aleesha and me in to live, when we had no place to go. I will never forget that. You all have been very blessed to have had such a special mother - one who never judged, but comforted. I could talk to her when I could not talk to anyone else about things. She is in a special place now and we are all very thankful that she was a part of our lives. Just know that I am here for all of you. I love you.

Mom we will miss you so much. We are so glad Sarina got to be part of her life. She misses her TiTTa very much. We know you are in a better place now looking down on us. God Bless You Mom.
Love Craig,Claudia and Sarina

So sorry for your loss. May you find stength in God , family and friends.

I want to express some of the thoughts that come to mind when I think of this wonderful & loving person.
I was 5 years old when Aunt Norma met & married my Uncle Neseb (CB) Thomas. At least once a week Aunt Norma would ask me if I had been a good boy. If I answered "yes" she would walk me down to the local Sommers Drug Store, the only one in town that had a real soda fountain area with ice cream & milk shakes; sit me on the bar stool like the adults & let me order a vanilla malt. She would talk to me at the fountain & all the way back home. I still love vanilla to this day. As time went by, although Aunt Norma & Uncle CB had their own children, she still found the time to make me feel special. Each year on my birthday she would make me, from scratch, a pizza pie with candles for however many years old I was. This pizza was just for me. When I got in trouble with one of the neighbors & got a whipping from my parents for doing wrong, Aunt Norma would always talk me through the problems and our discussion always ended with a hug. She was & is a very special person who will be missed but never forgotten. She raised 5 wonderful children (Johnny, Sharon, Ricky, Karla, & Craig) who are hurting right now. Please pray for them & their families at this time. I encourage my cousins to remember all those good times with their very special mom.
