Thank You Norma M - A number of years ago I joined McDougall and, have been on a number of committees and other volunteering at the church. Now I’m old and find it difficult to attend so very much appreciate the online services. Also, my health is deteriorating, and Norma M is my hero. I’m extremely independent and it’s difficult for me to ask for help but Norma knows that and just takes over. She has taken me for groceries every 2 weeks for at least 2 years and I really enjoy our visit. She has come here to get my visa, grocery cart, shopping bags, grocery list – done my shopping comes back and put everything away when I’m unable to physically do it. Yesterday (Nov 2) she did some chores around here too. She is truly amazing and very, very kind. Norma definitely connects me to the church! Claire M
