Condolences:

My dearest sorrow to Norma’s family. Norma and I shared many happy times together. She was truly a beautiful person. We spent lots of fun times together with Arnie and Tracy and the grandkids. My prayers and love always. May you rest in peace....Rose Pires

My condolences goes out to the family, and especially to Wendy. Wendy was very consistent, she would drive in terrible weather conditions a couple hours away from the facility to make a visit to her beloved mother. It was very touching seeing how much Wendy was present during Normas time at the Canyons. It was an honor to care for Norma this past year. She was such a sweet, and gentle person. Our canyons staff and I truly adored her, and she will be missed!.. Kimberly Jauregui

You will always be my second Mom forever. I love you!...Rick Rego

Sending caring thoughts to Norma’s family. She will always be remembered for her generous spirit, kindness, and enjoyment of time with people (and dogs!) Every visit included smiles, hugs, empathy, and plenty of giggles. Norma made life sweeter and it was pure pleasure to spend time with her. She will be missed. Much love to Wendy and Norma’s whole family...Cami LaForge

I worked with Norma at Cherry & Webb at the Dartmouth Mall. She was always a lady in every way and was such a pleasure to be around. She later went to work at JC Penny's and I would love running into her there. You had such a gem for a Mom and I know she will be looking over all her family! My heartfelt condolences....Suzanne Oliveira

Wendy and Kevin, I was saddened to read of Mrs, Bridge's passing. I know this has been a difficult last few years for you, but now that she is at peace, I pray you will be also. Wendy, you have been a wonderful daughter to give back to your mom with the unending love that you showed her. May she rest in eternal peace. All my love, "Aunty Judy"
