A Fond Farewell to my mother Rosalinda Marie Norman
With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to a beautiful soul, Rosalinda Marie Norman, who passed away on January 28, 2025. She was more than a mother—she was a teacher, a guiding light, and the heart of our family. Though dementia took parts of her memory, it could never erase the love, kindness, and wisdom she shared with us all.
My mother taught me everything I know, how to be patient, how to treat people—with respect, kindness, and compassion. She lived by example, showing me what it truly means to care for others. Her love was unconditional, her spirit strong, and her warmth a comfort to everyone who knew her.
Even as her memory faded, her love remained, shining through in the small moments—a touch of her hand, a gentle smile, the familiar feeling of home whenever she was near. Now, though she has left this world, her lessons and love live on in me and in all who were blessed to know her.
My father and I find peace in knowing she is free from the struggles of dementia, resting in the arms of those who went before her. Her spirit will never fade, and her legacy of love will remain in our hearts forever.
Rest peacefully, Mama. Until we meet again.
Your Loving Son,
John Norman Jr.
