I cried, reading through everyone's essays about Norma. It's been easy to fool myself, these past few months, into thinking she's still here. I love that you have created this gathering place for people to remember her. Thank you for asking me to participate. There are countless student stories about Norma that far surpass anything I can offer. I hope folks will share their Norma stories here (and everywhere), so we can all remember. xo You are so welcome. I cried, reading through everyone’s essays about Norma.

I remember seeing you two, when I was a new student, a Southern writer who wanted to work with Norma and did. You two looked to have a special language. A short hand of emotion. I had my own special bond with Norma, and I don't think we would have worked together either, had I not seen her bravely and fiercely work with someone whose work was so unlike her own in tone but still filled with heart, emotion, and determination. Thank you. Deb,
