Condolences on your Moms passing Chris.I can see your Dad wrapping her in a big bear hug with smiles all around. They are always with you in your heart and soul.
I sure will miss you Noreen. You were there when Mom and Dad brought me home. Thanks for always caring for me like I was one of your own. I’ll miss you, and I love you.
Give Dale a hug for me. Rest in peace.
Noreen was one of my favorite ladies. She always kept the conversation going and she always made you feel loved. Dale and Mike surely met her as she entered those Heavenly Gates. Such a wonderful Wife, Mother and Grandmother and friend. I will miss her. My condolences to her family.
Noreen was my very dear and special friend! She and Dale were so much fun always but when Gene and I traveled with them it was above and beyond! I know Dale and Gene (and Mike and so many others) were so happy to see you when you went through Heaven’s Gates last Sunday! Chris and family…
may God bless you at this difficult time. With my love and sincere sympathy!
My sincerest condolences Chris. Your Mom was such a wonderful lady. My heart goes out to you.
I was always excited to see Noreen at family gatherings, as she was always smiling and laughing. I’m going to greatly miss her commenting on my Facebook posts, she always had something sweet to say. I hope there is some peace knowing that she is with Dale and Mike. And their sweet little Chihuahua too.
So sorry to hear of Noreen’s passing. You were blessed with the best parents. They had extra love to share with Mariah which we will forever be grateful. Hang on to the wonderful memories of a life well lived.
Noreen was my friend for more than 50 years and I will miss her more than I can say. My thoughts and prayers are with her entire family.
Noreen was like a mother to me and Vance. We always felt welcomed and loved at your home. We grieve with you, Chrissy. Know we are here with you and will visit when we come to Wooster. Love you girl!!!
Noreen was a beautiful Christ based woman. She was always kind and helpful. I turned to her often after I lost my my Mom and she lovingly listened and gave good advice. I am glad she will be at home now.
I didn’t know your Mom but Shelly talked about her often , God bless you and your family so very sorry for your loss.
I’ve known Noreen since the early 90’s when we worked together. She was funny, smart, loving, and always a good friend. Chris and kids, I’m so sorry for your loss. You have had way too much loss in your life. I picture Noreen with Dale and Mike once again and that thought brings me joy! I pray that you have friends and family to lean on in your grief.
We are so sorry for you loss . You all are in our prayers
My condolences to Noreen’s family
Ilive across the road from Noreen in Wetherington. I didn’t know them very well,but would talk to the at different times. Noreen and I were both night owls and would check to see if each other’s lights were on.I had by away for the winter and just got home the first of March. This past Thursday night I looked out to see if her lights were on ,and then found out yestt from Susan Clayton that she had died. She was a lovely woman with a great smile and sense of humor. Please accept my sincere condolences.
Noreen was such a special lady. Deepest sympathy to the family Prayers for you.
The Miller’s were close family friends since my childhood through Salem Lutheran Church. It was always so good to talk with Noreen at church when we were home visiting from Texas. Much love to Chris and the rest of the family. I know she is happy to be reunited with Dale and Mike.
So very sorry to hear of this, we were friends since I started at JFS in ‘’89 and stayed in touch fairly regularly. Such a dear person with a big heart. Our condolences to her family whom she loved and was so proud of.
R.I.P. dear friend, sure will miss the laughter
and friendship.
God blessed me almost 40 yrs ago by bringing Noreen into my life. We were “sisters” from other mothers. She blessed my life in so many ways. When I moved to Florida 14 yrs ago our friendship stayed strong. I loved Dale so much too. He was like a big teddy bear brother to me. I remember all of us sitting in their living room and him telling toe goofiest jokes I’ve ever heard. I’m blessed with so many memories. My love and prayers are going out to Chris and the kids. Stay strong Chris. She was blessed to have you as her daughter…..love you all
