I met Nora in 1987, through a mutual friend, Margie Barrasso, when I arrived back in Tucson and desired to buy a house. Nora, immediately, devoted all of her attention to my needs in locating "just the right home" for my two young daughters and me, and I still own that house to this day. She became a friend from that time on, and I shall never forget her kindness and devotion in welcoming me back to Tucson. She was an angel on earth.

Lesley, I am so sorry for your loss. I understand the heartache of losing a parent, especially one who, like your mom, was larger than life.

Nora remains in the hearts and memories of all she came in contact with. I see her beauty and love of life in Lesley, her warmth and quick smile in David, and her patience and empathy in Lola. Thank you for bringing her presence back amongst friends to share a time to send Nora's energy to another dimension. A donation will be made to the Human Society of Arizona.

This message is for Lesley. I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I remember her love of her Afghans, and how sweet she was to all of your friends. She took us to see "Saturday Night Fever" in 6th grade and I thought she was so VERY cool! I know I haven't seen you since 6th grade, but wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss.

My most sincere sympathy to Nora's family. Somewhere in Heaven, there is a sweet little gal with a big smile, looking for the Afghan Hound ring...
Peace and prayers to all of you.

Nora was a dear friend from cooking classes-her smile and laugh were priceless. She always had a story to tell and loved life and her family most of all. I'll never forget Nora-she brought joy to all who met her. My deepest sympathy to the Dodson family.
