I’m sorry I can’t be there today Nana Norris. Your love for me was always so strong as mine is for you. The last time I saw my Nana was in 2014 when Mom, Dad, and I visited. She showed us her favourite place in town to eat and I will forever cherish those memories of traveling to New Brunswick. Nana always spoiled me so much when we would come to see her, when I was in grade 4 the first time I came to see her she surprised me with the best present ever! An entire box of Beanie Babies. Nana even let me rip around on her mobility scooter in the parking lot. We all thought it was hilarious. She was such a caring woman; we are lucky to call her family or a friend. Thank you for being the best Nana to me and all your grandchildren and a supportive mother to Perry, Uncle Fernly, and my Aunt Tina. You are loved by so many. Give Dad a kiss for me! Love, Melanie

What can one say about Margaret Joyce Norris? That is the question we have all been wondering about today, and I have struggled so much since she left this Earth. How can one sum up such a long life? Are there enough words for it, and what words are even right for such a life? To me, she was more than a nanny. She was a home away from home, both for my body and for my soul. You never left her home or her side without walking away with something. Whether it was a trinket or a treat, something would always find its way into your hands, heart, and home. With every “I love you,” she would sign with a twinkle in her eyes, and there was always an unspoken “See you soon.” She always embodied the phrase “Do no harm but take no crap” in her everyday life, which she of course passed on to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. No matter what walk of life you came from she was always able to strike a relationship with anyone she surrounded herself by. She was never shy about letting her feelings be known in any given situation. She knew love from all over the world, and those I was fortunate enough to get in touch with had a few things they wanted to share which I was so happy to hear and read through everyone’s stories. She was truly one of a kind, and I hope one day to follow her path and always remain compassionate in a cruel world. You will be greatly missed, but we will see you again soon. Gone, but never forgotten. Rest in peace, nanny. See you soon

She was always such a kind, giving person, thinking about everyone else but herself. Whenever I went to visit her she would have something for me to bring home, be it a trinket, piece of jewelry, casserole dish, or sweaters. Always said, “Maybe you can use this!” Any time she knew Fern was coming to visit it would be the same. He would be going home with a bag or a box of goodies of some kind. She always loved it when I would take her some of my homemade sweets, rolls, mustard, and bread and butter pickles. She would say "Boy, I'll have some of those with my supper!” She was a sweetheart although she could tell you what she thought too sometimes. Loved to come way back when she would come to visit me for a day or two. Will miss her calls on the phone but she is not suffering from being full of arthritis anymore and I'm sure having lengthy chats with all our family and her friends who have gone on before. There is just Lee and I left and we will see you again someday!! Love you and REST IN PEACE SISTER! -Vesta Goddard

Sending deepest sympathy to Fern, Tina and families, Perry’s daughter, Melanie and Uncle Lee annd Aunt Vesta. Aunt Joyce was a great lady with a beautiful smile. I remember helping her sew and make decorations for our first Christmas together after Mike and I got married. Other Christmases, she sewed and created decorations for my kids. A few times, my mom would take her shopping and then bring her over to visit us and other times I’d pick her up and bring her over to visit with us for the day. Oh how she loved seeing the kids. They loved to visit her and she was thrilled when we brought her some of our Christmas baking every year. Scot and Jody lived in Moncton for awhile when Jody was doing her internship at the hospital and their daughter, Margie was born. She loved visiting them and missed them when they moved away. After that, when I’d call her, she would ask how they were and doing and ask all about our other kids and grandkids. She had a heart of gold and loved helping out wherever she could, even though she had many health issues. Although my family can’t be there for her celebration of life, Mike and I, Scot, Amber, Rebecca, Sarah and their families will be thinking of you all. Till we meet again, Aunt Joyce, Love, Mary Ellen, Mike and family.
