Norma Sanders

I moved Norma Sanders membership records from our ward tonight to her new home at Hearthstone Manor in Spanish Fork, Utah.  It will give her the assistance she needs from time to time, but still allows her to live a pretty independent life -- it also allows her to live nearer her two living daughters now that her son Stephen has passed.

But especially to Willyne (doesn't she and Norma look good in that picture!) and also to me it means the loss of a friend, or at least that we won't be able to see her nearly as often.  Their house on the hill will seem empty, not just as Christmas when we won't have Stephen's giant light display in the shape of a tree, but all year round.

There is a silver lining.  Norma will get good care, every day; she won't have to worry about taking care of her house (important when you are 98 years young!); and on day 2 there, she is happy. 

I was concerned she wouldn't be, so I'm very glad for that!
