So Lark, do you have a contact in Australia?

Lark said...

I found Norma, she sent me the pictures and a file. From that file I found that Norma is your Australian third cousin.

I rather assume its Norma Biggs. I had been communicating with her last year. Then my hubby died, and her husband died just 12 days after mine. I've really not done anything since. Everything in my house has pretty much been turned upside down. Seems to get harder not easier, at least some days.
