Condolence to the Normajean G.Wroblewski Family. Frank - Marie Bordy

My heart felt condolences on the passing of the family matriarch. A beautiful woman inside and out. I had many conversations with Normajean over the years, some at the business many more at their dining room table in Dallas. She was truly a first class lady, caring, kind, sympathetic and loving to all. I will truly miss her annual Christmas cards and phone calls.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Thank you for trusting us to care for your loved one. May comfort and peace surround all of you.
