No matter where you are, you will always be in our hearts. Remembering the Galveston bike ride in 2023 and how you had to dress up in your steampunk costume, the smile on your face was contagious. Love you my beautiful coffee buddy

Nora was like a sister to me. She has been my best friend since 5th grade. We have laughed together and cried together. It was because of her I met my husband. Both of us will miss her dearly...she will forever live in our memories

I feel so lucky to have known and worked with Nora. I will never forget her smile. I know there are no words to comfort you during this time. Just know that we are here if you ever need us. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days and years to come. Hold your memories of Nora close and she will always be with you.

It was an honor to know Mrs. Nora. Though our paths didn’t cross at St. E, there will certainly be an absence in the atmosphere where the light she brought once was. I’m grateful to have met her, and we are sending lots of love to her family. May you all find peace and comfort during these difficult times. With love, Lillian and Jacob Jordan
