Many of our conversations started with a " Hey there trouble" followed by a huge smile and a quick witted come back from you. I got to become friends with Noreen late in her life over the last 2 and half years. It pains me deeply and all my thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and loved ones. Noreen helped me appreciate my career in nursing and helping others that much more than i did. Noreen was very passionate about nursing (The worker bee's) and shared her life experiences with me. Thank you for all the memories and friendship you shared with me. I have saved all your letters to me and just reread them. You are a "WOMAN" and not a lady because a "lady is a woman of the night" You never missed a holiday card and always included a penny or two for extra luck. Noreen i did finally cut my hair i wish you could have seen it after a year of you telling me to cut it. Thank you for everything and i will take care of my bride to be as you always finished your letters with. I wish you could have met her, i guess youll just have to look down from above.

Your bright smile, kind heart, witty sense of humor, and heart to heart talks with occasional swear word that sometimes just slipped in there hahaha will be missed.

Your Buddy
