I remember being on a double date with my late husband, Belden Dunn, and Norma and Shelly. Spontaneously, we went to a street carnival. We decided to go on the tilt-a-wheel. We all said, “Oh, that would be fun.” Later that evening, we all confessed that none of us really wanted to do it.

I have too many memories to list. Norma was very loving, kind, and very generous with her time and her guidance. She was a wonderful friend and I cherish the time we spent together in Florida and in Northbrook for dinners, conversation, or just sitting together in synagogue. She will be missed dearly. May her memory always be for a blessing.
