Loved my aunt Norma Jean! Tremendous person with a giant heart combined with the Adams spitfire. Her chicken n dumplings were the best. I’ll miss her.

I loved her and would not take ANYTHING for our last little visit. All I ever knew her as to me was Grandma! She was so funny, a wonderful cook and homemaker, and she loved the Lord and her family fiercely. You all are in my prayers. I know you will miss her so much, but what a Christmas to get to see Granddaddy and Debra again! ❤️
