We love you Gramski and will see you again one day!

Gramski, you will be greatly missed but always loved and remembered. Thank you for being the best grandma in the world. I loved visiting you as much as we could, enjoying your always delicious home cooked food, going for walks, watching Jeopardy together and seeing for myself just how smart you are, and playing scrabble together and learning new words from you. I will always love you "to the galaxies and beyond!"

All my love. It is comforting to know that you and dad are in each other's arms once again! Know that you will live in our hearts forever.....

Mom was the kindest person I have ever known. She was an accomplished artist, gourmet cook, an incredible wife and fantastic mother of four children. I have very fond memories of growing up in the Hilltop community with mom and dad, always involved with the neighborhood, parties and get togethers. Great memories of celebrating Halloween and July 4th neighborhood picnics.
She never met a stranger and would do anything for anyone. Likewise she would do anything and everything for her four children and her grandchildren. She never stopped caring for each of us even during difficult times or when one misbehaved. Her passing is a true blessing in disguise as the last few years have been very difficult, knowing that she has not been living, but was simply existing. Thank GOD she is now resting in peace and reunited with dad. 
Forever Love,
Bob (aka Bobby)

Billy and I never had the pleasure of meeting any of you, but we feel we know you because Norma spoke of you often and told us about you.  She was an amazing lady and a very special friend to us.  We shared the love of Folk Art and Norma shared her knowledge with us and visiting her shops in Leesburg and her home was always a treat for us.  When we look around at the pieces we purchased from her in our home, we will think about her and cherish the time we spent together at auctions, shows or having lunches and enjoying our time together.  We will miss her and we were so blessed to have shared our time together.  Billy & Judy Fisher - Friend

Thanksgiving 2023- One of many weekly visits at BVSL. Marc would always make a homemade meal for ‘Momma’, This day included Sachertorte …their favorite dessert, one that they would make together in years past.

Norma was a lovely person and an amazing artist.  It was my privilege and pleasure to be her friend and colleague at the Enamelists Gallery in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria. 

We had many Gallery meetings in her lovely home.  The folk art snake on top of the hutch was my favorite.  I think she called him Albert.  I also once brought her a couple of mysteriously smooth rocks for her bowl of rocks. 

I will miss her very much.

Condolences to her family and many friends.

Tina Chisena

Marc and family, my deepest condolences to you and yours.  May her loving memories be a blessing.

Marc- truly a loss of light in this world. My heart and comfort and love to you now and always.
