I am very sorry for those affected by the loss of Norlee. My fondest memory of Norlee was when my husband Keith and I stayed at Norlee and Denis’ home after honeymooning at Niagra Falls some 33 years ago. I was a young bride of 20 and very nervous. I was immediately made to feel at ease. Their home had a very relaxed and carefree feel to it. My parents had told me not to be nervous as Norlee and Denis were very down to earth people. They were right . Thank you Norlee for opening up your home to someone that you really didn’t know very well and for enabling a blushing young bride to relax and enjoy her time spent there.

Rest In Peace
Love

Dear Dennis, Jonathan, Marilee and family:
We are saddened to hear of Norlee’s passing. Some of my happiest golf memories are from the years I played with Norlee at Markland Wood. A putt failing to drop by rimming out of stopping 1 dimple short of sinking would elicit Norlee’s response of “and Jesus wept”. So many fun bridge games with that card shark as well. We send you prayers for strength and the hope that your many memories will help you through these dark days. I am sure it has been a very difficult journey.
