Julianne, Bridgette and I want to thank everyone who attended our “Celebration” on July 9.
You can watch the video recording of the event on this site HERE.
Many of the attendees had never met Norma and we believe that, as we informally recounted her traits (some hidden, some not!), i.e.:
- her humor, wit and “mischief”,
- her compassionate nature and the many ways this found expression,
- and her resilience, determination, doggedness
we painted a true and faithful picture of the real person.
The pervasive theme in all of the above was her personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to Whom she turned for peace, courage, strength and wisdom. One Scripture verse she quoted regularly and frequently was Philippians 4:13 – “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus”. And He did!

Our heartfelt thanks go to:
- Everyone who attended the event – especially those in other time zones
- Living Water Faith Fellowship for allowing us to use their facility – and especially to the behind-the-scenes workers who prepared it for the purpose (Norma’s favourite flowers, and other details)
- Vic Montesano for leading the singing
- Harry and Jen Paul for managing the sound and Zoom
- Shawn Daly (Bridgette’s husband) for candid photography
- Pastors Adrian and Irene for their love and care over the past several years, and the encouragement and challenge he brought in opening and closing the event.
