Dear Nora, I did not know this sweet woman well but, I respect the activities to which she gave her love and attention. Wonderful smile and a keen balloon tennis player while at Smith Creek.
Nora was a vivacious, kind and generous person.
We have many fond memories of our times with Nora and Don and will always be grateful for their kindness and love.
