My parent's love story would have begun in 1945- just as the war was ending. Norma was invited to Ottawa Tech HS to hear the band. A dapper young man stood to play his solo - Star Dreams. My mother, then 15, heard a voice in her ear, "you're going to marry him!" Norma asked for an introduction, but as he approached, the young girl fled the scene - overtaken by a rare moment of shyness. I can only imagine that dad must have taken notice of the young beauty, as he pursued her 3 years later.

Our mother, Norma Edna Bruce (nee Sims) joined Garnet as of 3:45 am on April 21, 2015. All of their children were able to say goodbye, along with friends and some of her grandchildren. May their love story continue forever!
