May God give you strength, comfort, and peace as you go through these difficult days, and may He surround you with love and support. We are thinking of you all.
Norma has been and will continue to be an inspiration to me… a virtuous woman – she taught me that through the struggles of life we become holy… and not to fear them but to embrace them and trust in our good Lord. Her sparkling eyes and warm smile radiated the love of Jesus. So loving, so caring, so humble- always there when you needed her – always looking out for the well being of others – both physically and spiritually. And she always had a homily to address a situation in my life! I will miss her dearly but her presence will always remain in my heart. I am truly blessed to have had her as part of my life!
To the LaNeve family
I am sorry to hear Norma passed away. I will miss seeing her at church at the 8:45 mass. She was a sweet soul. RIP
Norma🙏🙏

Sincerest condolences to you and the extended La Neve family on the passing of your soul mate Norma. Pray the Good Lord welcomes her into heaven with open arms.
Following words of comfort all we can offer. “Love is stronger than death even though it can’t stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can’t separate people from love. It can’t take away our memories either. In the end, LOVE is stronger than death.” Hope you’re coping well caro amico. Riposa in pace cara Norma.

My first appointment as a priest was to St. Luke’s Parish, where Norma worked part-time. We would speak together about how good God is and how He was present in our lives. A couple of years later she joined a walking pilgrimage from Toronto to Martyr’s Shrine in Midland. Norma often lagged behind in the walking, but when she arrived – after walking 25 kms – she immediately began helping others, cooking, serving where she could. She was an absolutely inspiring person.
Rachele, we are so deeply sorry for the passing of your beloved mother. Please know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time.
Praying that you find strength, comfort, and peace knowing that your mom is now resting gently in God’s loving arms.
To Domenic & Family. Sending my deepest condolences. May Norma Rest In Peace
Caro Domenico, our sincerest condolences to you and the Laneve family on the passing of Norma. We will always cherish and remember the times shared together. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Pace my friend.
Our most sincere condolences to Domenico and family.
The passing of my sweet Tia Norma is incredibly painful. My childhood and adulthood has only the best memories of her. Always one to smile and give you positive encouragement…a saint on Earth as her faith was like no other. Agho, Avery and Dante also feel this loss and grief for our Zio and the family. We are all so lucky to have known her. I wish she was still with us but I’m going to choose to think of her smiling in heaven, having a mate with my mom and very much at peace. Praying for strength, Claudia, Agho, Avery and Dante
Deepest condolences to the La Neve family. I would chat with Norma at church and walking to the mailboxes in our neighbourhood. Such a sweet lady. Keeping Norma and her family in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, prayers and support during this difficult time. Your messages have meant a lot to our family and we are grateful for them all.
With sincere appreciation,
Francesco La Neve
On behalf of my father Domenico and sisters Vittoria, Mariana, Maria-Rosa and Rachele
My heartfelt condolences to Domenic and the kids on the passing of his wife their beloved mom, Norma Laneve. We lived on the same street & I would see Domenic working in his garden & Norma standing in the back doorway. I would wave out to her & we would chat across. I last visited her in June 2019. She was so surprised and welcomed me and my friend visiting from overseas with such a big smile & hug. She right away brewed fresh coffee and had home made muffins & cookies. She always had a big smile and was very spiritual. Being a breast cancer survivor myself she asked me how I was doing. My 3 kids attended the same elementary and secondary school & we were parishioners of St Luke’s. Today I visited St Luke’s Church & while chatting with Secretary Lois I told her that I would be going over to surprise Norma by visiting her. That’s when she gave me the sad news & I was shocked, saddened and heartbroken 💔🥲.
Norma is not suffering anymore and she is in heaven looking over her family and friends. May her beautiful soul RIP and may Her Memory be a Blessing🙏🏽
