Norah brought so much energy, light, and love to our world. She was an amazing person. Among her many gifts, music was a very big part of her life. She played violin, ukulele, and guitar; she had the voice of an angel. Our family still connects with each other over music, and her playlist is often heard throughout our home. We miss her dearly. Norah was a very funny person, who brought joy into the room along with a gentle kindness for others- especially children and animals. On what would be the first day of her senior year in high school, she was diagnosed with metastatic osteosarcoma. She fought bravely and with so much grace towards her whole care team. Her treatment was intense and took a lethal toll on her organs 5 1/2 months into her fight.
Norah had a very big heart for others and so we want to honor and celebrate the ones fighting this battle through her family fund. Norah badly wanted to make it better for others, and we are thankful for MIB and all the support they have offered our family since losing our sweet, sweet, funny girl. Sending all the love in the world from us to you.
