Requiescat In Pace: Normayne Stringer

My mother-in-law Normayne Stringer passed away today at age 93.  I was close to her.  As I frequently told her, after the death of my mother in 1984, she was the closest thing I had to a mother.  Her husband, my Bride’s father, a World War II Navy vet, passed away at age 73 in 1997.

I knew her for 43 years.  She was a grand lady, a loving mother and grandmother, and she will be greatly missed.  Now she goes to join her husband who will probably say, before hugging her, “What took you so long!”  When Larry died, she heard chimes in her house at around 2:30 AM when he passed.  Her house had no chimes.
