As Noreen's cousin, I shall always cherish our memories, first as children during her visits to Watertown, S.D., and in later years when she traveled to the Atlanta area on business and in visits to Glen and Kerri when they lived in Atlanta. Noreen's fun loving spirit and zest for life always made our visits and telephone conversations moments to cherish. We will always remember Bill and Noreen's wonderful wedding reception and the chance to meet Bill's family and reconnect with Mike and Angela after many years. We send our sympathy to all of the family, and Noreen, we shall miss you dearly.

As sorority sisters in college at Montana I had the pleasure of making college memories with Noreen. We had a great house with 36 "sisters", including laughter, tears and lots of good times! I really enjoyed seeing Noreen and spending time with her at our reunion a few years ago. I know how happy she was to be married to you Bill. I only wish that you would have had many more years together. I am sending my sympathy to you Bill, and also to Noreen's family. May wonderful memories comfort all of you.

Dear Bill and Family, I am sincerely sorry to hear of Noreen's passing. I attended a luncheon at the Pleasanton Hotel a few months back with Noreen and some of the others from the Sun-Diamond group. It was a great pleasure to see her again. There were always lots of laughs and fun at the office. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the services.

As grandparents of Shane and Kevin, we share in Noreen's love of her children and grandchildren. The boys brought joy to her, as they do to us. She loved them dearly and will be remembered for that love and caring. Having known Noreen through her son Glenn, we have fbecome part of her family. Our daughter Kerri is fortunate to have had Noreen as a mother-in-law. Noreen is loved and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill, Glenn, and Dan, as well as with the rest of her family.

Dearest Bill and Family, I am so enormously sad to hear of Noreen's passing. Everytime I think of Noreen, I smile and laugh. We have had some fun times together. I always remember the trip that we took to Ireland and for the very first time, in both of our lives, we found out what it was like to truly relax. We started laughing at ourselves at the unique feeling. Bill, she was so blissfully happy with you and so blessed to have you in her life. I feel so honored and blessed to have known her in my life. Her spark and joy is truly missed. Pat

Noreen was and is a very special lady. We shared many laughs and tears over the years. Before I left Dr. Hashimoto's office I had the pleasure of seeing Noreen and Bill one last time before I moved to Las Vegas. She gave me a very special braclet that I will treasure for years and will think of her and her kind heart everytime I wear it. I regret that I won't be able to attend the service but I will be praying for the family and friends. May God bless all who knew this wonderful woman and grant them peace in their hearts for this great loss. Noreen I will miss you, see you again soon my friend. Heather Omoto-Ramirez

She and I had a little nap holding hands together! Just before that, she was looking at a photo of her 2 grandson's telling me, " I called the church to send me 2 angelical angels and here they are"! May perpetual light shime upon Noreen's soul. Ellie

Although I was Noreen's favorite (and only) brother, I felt that I really got a chance to know her when she was a Senior and I was A Freshman at the University of Montana. She was a quick-witted sister who always kept us smiling. She should be proud of the kids that she raised and the grandkids that they raised. They are loving & caring people like herself. She was a wonderful wife to Bill & enjoyed family life. She will be missed by all who came in contact with her. Love, Mike

Dear Bill and family At their meeting on Friday last, the City of Nelson Civic Trust resolved to send a message of sympathy to you. You and Noreen have had a special place in the history of our South Street Project. While the building framing was still going up, Noreen was becoming our first unit purchaser of behalf or you both. She approached the development of this building with her usual "lets go for it" enthusiasm throughout the constrution stage, and she was such a great enthusiast and supporter for the work of the Civic Trust and this project. Her great talents turned this from a construction frame work, into a beautiful home for you both, and for you and those of the trustees involved, her memory will always shine when we are near South Street. She was a Star turn for us, and we remember her with admiration and thanks. Brian Mills on behalf of The City of Nelson Civic Trust 18 June 2007

Noreen and I have been friends since High School. We were roommates in San Francisco when she just finished college and I was a flight attendant. We had great fun and laughs and really enjoyed life in the city. Her job brought her to NY occasionally so we kept in touch when I lived in New York and in Connecticut. Jerry and I were delighted to meet Bill when Noreen and he came to NY for a Yankee game, then on to Connecticut to visit us. Noreen and I traveled to Paris together several years ago. She's been a true friend for so many years. Jerry and I express our deepest condolences to Bill and family.

When we think of Noreen we think of fun and laughter 'down under'. We have had so much fun and visited so many places together over the past decade. It is hard to imagine life without her. Noreen has enriched our lives in many ways. We thank her for being the awesome person she was, for being a friend, a soul mate and such good company. She will also be missed by the many friends she made in Nelson, New Zealand and beyond. Our love and sympathy goes out to Bill and the family. She loved you so much and was very proud of you all. 'She who lives in the memory of others, Shall have everlasting life.' You will remain in our hearts, and travel with us forever, Noreen.

Noreen was not just a relative I cared very much about but a friend and at times a special confidante. She has not had an easy life but her wonderful sense of humor and the ability to laugh at herself made the hard times easier to bear, especially when she fought numerous illnesses. My mother always referred to her as 'that beutiful lovely lady'. She really was so much fun to talk to and be around, I will miss her very much. However, I know that as long as our loved ones remain in our hearts they will live with us forever. So, good-bye dear Noreen, I can just image the witty line you gave St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

Hosie family, I just want to send my regards to all of you. You are all in our thoughts during this trying time. After reading the obituaries, it is obvious what a profound effect she has had on so many lives from her sorority sisters to her children, grandchildren, and of course Bill. I did not know Noreen well but I see what an awesome mother Erin is and can't help but feel that Noreen has been a big part of that. Her impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.

Even at our high school 50th reunion she looked terrific and was genuinely interested in knowing how all her classmates were doing. I also remember seeing Noreen at our 50th reunion at St. Charles. It was at that time that I met her husband. Noreen, we will miss you and pray that God will take you into his loving arms. May God bless you.
