So sorry to learn of the passing of our neighbor, Norma. We met Norma not long after we moved to Hollis; she and Elwyn were kind enough to attend our Memorial Day cookout, bringing some yummy homemade treats, and it made our new neighborhood feel a little smaller and little more like home to know we had such nice and friendly neighbors. We are both former teachers and we enjoyed chatting with her that day about our adventures in education. Our thoughts are with Elwyn and all of Norma's family; may she rest in peace. - Kathleen and Doug Neumann
