Norvella and my mom were best of friends in their early years. Up until last Christmas we regularly exchanged Christmas cards. Will miss her sweet notes.

So sorry to hear of Narvella’s passing. She and Dwayne were long-time friends of my parents, George and Dorothy Willard. I’ll let Uncle Jim know.
