So sorry to hear of Noreen’s passing. I have fond memories of weekend sleepovers with Darlene back in Brigden school days. Spent much time with Noreen at Murphy’s when Norita was sick. Thinking of you, Cathy Stephens
So sorry for your loss. We have many fond memories of Noreen. She was a very special lady who will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God bless.
Our thoughts & prayers are with your family at this time- We had many chuckles over the years with the “Cuz”
Our condolences to the family on the passing of a great lady. When she and Grant settled into their home on Waubuno Road , she became a good friend of my Mother and many ladies in the church and community. When we had a 3 year old grand-daughter next door, Sophie and I would visit Noreen when the other kids were at school. Noreen loved Sophie’s curiosity and antics. Great memories of a great neighbor
I will miss seeing your Mom very morning she always had a smile and a little laugh about something. She loved to talk about her kids and her to grandsons how very proud she was of them.My deepest sympathy on your loss
I hope that knowing we are thinking of you all at this time of your loss
will in some small way ease your pain and sorrow.
Condolences from Chic.

You have slipped from our touch
As only you could
With the grace of an angel and wisdom of a saint
Finding those who made your life complete
For a last and final time our hands touched
As our eyes met you said sweet goodbyes
For only you knew what the next few days would bring
You held us tight for one last time
We laughed, we cried knowing our eyes would not meet
What more could I ask for, you said
A life so full to love and be loved
Never knowing how much you gave without misgiving
For you always found the good whatever came your way
Your gifts to us remain with us always
We talked, we laughed, we learned, we loved
Such a gentle soul poured her heart to ours
Seperated by distance you gave your blessing
A love so strong a bond could not be broken
Time passes when our touch can not be found
A love so strong a bond could not be broken
You healed our wounds and forgave us our sins
A love so strong a bond could not be broken
That love will sustain us until eternity
You and you alone are the best of us
We thank you, we honour you, we adore you
You are mother, you are friend, you are confidant
Your light will shine in our hearts
We are blessed that you made our lives complete
We wish you God’s speed
It is time to rest at last
Thank you, beautiful sweet soul, thank you
We love you mommy, always and forever
