Nora was such a talented, amazing lady. she made all my bridesmaid dresses for my wedding. I remember good visits at her home. her yard and flower beds were always so beautiful. i remember going back east with nora and zya on the history tour. we had an amazing time and made some great memories. nora loved helping others and providing service to all. she was involved in crafting and sewing items for the festival of trees for several years. thanks for the great times and wonderful memories. my prayers are with you and your family. it's so nice that you and your daughters and sisters have so many of her amazing qualities. She will live on with you and the things you do in life.
