Norma was a wonderful person she kept my son in her daycare and we loved her a lot. She was so good for the children. She was an angel she was related to me. I know she is in a better place now. She’s earned her angel wings. I love you Norma Ray Joy lynn lacewell

Norma was a friend for many years. She and Glyndal were fans of bluegrass music and I saw them often at bluegrass festivals. Another fine lady gone from our midst. Sending sympathy and wishing
the best for her family.

Went to church with Mrs. Ray for many years at UCC. She was a very sweet lady. Our daughter attended Kiddie Kare, and Mrs. Ray loved her very much. She had a lot of sadness in her life with the loss of her son and husband. RIP Mrs. Ray. Condolences to the family.

Miss Ray helped with my three Jennifer Lynn, Christina and Daniel at Kiddie Kare for most of 5 years. She loved the kids as her own. She touched many lives and will always be remembered with love.

Dear family: Miss Norma (as the kids called her) was an extremely special lady. She kept both of my daughters, Jennifer (Jenn Jenn) and Katy in the early 80’s for many years. We all loved her and Glyndal so much. We still talk about them when we drive Kiddie Kare on Bruce. I never worried about my girls while I had to work. They took great care of them.
Much love to your family. Glenda Baker.
