Christy Jane HinzI was very sad to here about Nora. She always had a smile for me and was,a great person. My daughter and I were Girl Scout leaders for Allison, her daughter. It was a pleasure to see her get Allison from the meetings. Nora helped everything run smoothly with her friendship. I'm sure that the family will continue with all of the many things Nora set as an example just be being a fine person.
