Wilma, We just received your card this week. Our deepest sympathies for your loss. We have great memories of seeing you and Norby in your yard, sitting in the garage and Norby washing and cleaning his cars. Over the past 15 years when we have come back to town we always drove down Fernleaf and we remembered the great times we all shared. Our prayers go out to you. - Posted by: Karl & Laurie Loewen (Former Neighbors) on: Jan 02, 2013

My dearest Wilma, words can not express the sorrow I feel for your loss. You and Norby were my "wedding cake top" couple. I have many fond memories of you both including Norby's spotless shiny car waiting for you after work everyday, and the way you two danced and loved each other on Sept 29/90 (my wedding day). You will always hold a very special place in my heart. Love you always, I'm here for you. xo - Posted by: Karen Gobeil (Friend (co-worker from the past)) on: Dec 18, 2012

Our dearest Wilma, We have been blessed for mearly a decade to have you and Norby in our lives. Sydney has always felt as though she had other family in the neighbourhood, thanks to you and Norby and your unending hospitality and kindness. We will miss him very much -- his smile, his laugh, his "in-law" beer, and just his presence. Thank you Norby for sitting on our steps that day. All our love, Randy, Carlene and Sydney - Posted by: The Rummerys (good friends) on: Oct 04, 2012

I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to Wilma and Family for their tragic loss. I will always remember Norby washing his 56 Buick Convert in the driveway in the summer evenings. It was always an exciting day when the top came down! I'm going to miss you and will always remember all the the good times. - Posted by: Adam Castle (Friend and Neighbour) on: Oct 03, 2012
