Our friend, Norma, whom we sent the first cards to passed away last night. You all made her last months happy and “engaged” with all the cards you sent to her and she was still looking at them and thinking about your notes – in fact she got cards even yesterday according to her daughter Sheryl.
Thank you, Blog Readers, for loving Norma till the end of her life!
So sorry to hear that your mother has passed on to her reward. May she rest in peace.
So happy to think that our small gesture of cards brought her a little happiness.
What a lovely idea to ask your followers to send Norma cards and gifts. A happy end to her life.
To Sheryl and her family, thank you for sharing your mother’s story with all of us. We were blessed to know about her. I’m so glad that we could brighten her days with our cards. May she rest in peace.
I am just getting a chance to read your comments. I forwarded the blog email to my brothers, sisters-in-law, a few nieces and my sons. We’ve talked several times how the cards brightened mom’s day and several of us also enjoyed reading the cards.
Thank you for your kind words!
May she rest in peace
A small act of kindness and compassion…
These are gifts that always fill one’s heart!
God has completely healed Norma’s sweet spirit.

So surprised to read of Norma’s passing. Sending sympathies to Sheryl, and Thank You for letting us cheer your mother up and let her know how special she was. Her photo today is such a happy one! I hope she enjoyed our messages. Thank you for allowing us to send her a greeting and message!
May a choir of Angels be singing to Norma and surrounding her with all her family and friends. My condolences to Norma’s daughter and family.
Mary, thank you for sharing such beautiful acts of kindness with us so we can all bring some joy in the world. It is a privilege to do so.
Thank you, Mary, for introducing us to Norma. Thank you, Sheryl, for telling us about your mom’s life. She was a beautiful lady and we are so glad she enjoyed the cards. We enjoyed “meeting” her. Our sympathy to you and your family. ❤️
Well there is a God given example for all of us to learn from. Take a couple minutes out of your day and send a note to someone who isn’t as fortunate to still have a busy day. In the end, those who mail the cards will likely gain more from that one simple act than even the recipient will.
What a great idea you started Mary.
Beamer’s Mom – her daughter was so grateful to everyone who sent a card! Norma was so thrilled to sort them by state, by day – it gave her something to occupy her mind. I have a couple more ladies picked out as possibilities but need to check first. I’ll wait till after New Years when everybody will be reading again.
Such sad news but I am sure there are so many happy memories of a sweet lady. The picture of Norma is precious. My condolences to her family.

Sheryl, I am so sorry for your loss. No matter how we prepare it still is very sad. It reminds me when I had patients coming in for blood draws for cancer treatments or monitoring blood thinners for heart issues and then they didn’t come in regularly so I knew to check obituaries. I got so attached to many as we felt the same connection to Norma.
May she responded in peace
That was supposed to say rest in peace.
