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.
