Dear Larry and family. The neighborhood will not be the same without Norita's cheerful, loving presence. She always had a genuine concern for your welfare and loved to chat (but not gossip). What a beautiful soul, and now she is with her God. I hope your memories and love will get you through these hard times of grief and healing. I think when someone you love dies you just don't want people to forget them. Know that I will always think fondly of your wife/mom.

Dear Larry and family: Norita was very special in her musical leadership with the youth of First Lutheran Church. Both our boys were very fortunate to sing in her choirs and to grow stronger in their faith because of her example. She will be missed. She has joined the angel choir, the most special one of all. Prayers for you all.

Dear Larry, David, Marc, and families,
I loved your Mom as a church choir director, piano teacher, and friend. I felt graced by her Christian love - as a child, young woman, and middle-aged woman. Wow! What a great, long friendship! I am so grateful for her powerfully good influence on my musical and spiritual life. Blessings to you as you continue. May God carry you gently.
Love,
Kathi Sundet Daniel

Norita taught my children, Keri and Aaron Allison, piano lessons early on. Later she was their choir director at First Lutheran where they learned so much more than how to sing. She never missed a teaching moment on the music she was having them sing. She brought out the best in them. My mother, Famie, was her housekeeper for several years and always thought so highly of the Lundgren family. The angels are singing to have her with them. God bless the entire Lundgren family as you grieve the loss of Norita. She was loved and admired by so many.

The Lundgren Family: So sorry for your loss. Norita was an inspiration to everyone she touched, especially to the children. My son was involved in the youth choir at First Lutheran plus Norita was his piano teacher. I enjoyed helping her with the youth choir plus she was a great friend. Prayers for your family. God Bless.

To Larry and the whole family. My condolences are extended but seem small for your loss. Norita "gifted" us with so much. My children will say she was one of the most influential people in their faith growth in and with their involvement with choir. We thank God for having the gift of knowing her and for all the ways of her service to church. Blessings to you all.

Norita sings with the heavens after her dedication to children, youth and adults in music ministry. Her vision and enthusiasm were to be admired and she influenced me as a role model. I served as her colleague and accompanist during my graduate school years and she supported me with her friendship and love. She was pivotal! Requiscat im pacem, dear Norita. Soli deo Gloria! Peace and love to Larry and her beloved family.??

NORITA was an angel among us. The power of her love and music in the name of The Church changed lives and brought everyone who ever knew her closer to God. Her gifts to us all will live on - may her family be especially blessed with them. The LAUGENS surely have been!
