Condolences for the family of “Norita Sams”
My bestie I can’t believe you are gone I miss you so much I no we will see each other again I miss talking to you but you are at peace

Our condolences go out to you during this trying time. Please know that God is too wise to make a mistake. God knows and He cares for you. Continue to keep you eyes looking up to the Lord for comfort and strength. God bless and keep you both now and forever. Much Love!
Norita and I went to elementary and junior high school together. Many of mornings she would come to my house (on 21th St) and we would walk to school together.
Over the years I thought about her and hoped she was well and happy.
May she rest in peace.
Family stay together strong and REMEMBER HER SMILE!
There are no words to express the sorrow in our hearts. Please except our deepest sympathy. In times of distress we need comfort that soothes the heart. May the peace of God guard your hearts. Thoughts of peace.
