Norma East was instrumental in getting to take on the coordinators role for the TPC Rangers boys group. She was very supportive in my ideas to get the boys, ages 6 to 12 together once a month to build a project and play games. Shae and her husband Art have been great family friends for years and a spiritual pillar for us to be guided by. Norma was truly a wonderful lady to be around. She will be missed and thanks for all you have done. You have earned your crown in Heaven .
