Miss Norma, an elderly woman with curly gray hair and glasses, smiles warmly while sitting at a table with a drink topped with whipped cream. Text on the image is a quote from Miss Norma: "I know one thing, if they tell me I have cancer I don’t want any of that chemo, no poking and prodding — no treatment. I’ll just leave it be." Her birth and death dates are also listed: March 31, 1925 – September 30, 2016
Miss Norma, wearing a white button-down shirt and glasses, sits beside her daughter-in-law Ramie, who wears a white cap and tie-dye shirt. They're both laughing and enjoying each other's company. Above the women, there is a quote from Ramie about helping families discuss end-of-life choices: "Our greatest hope is that Miss Norma's story will help other families have an easier time broaching this difficult subject. Although we know that driving your loved one around in a motorhome at the end of their life is certainly not the answer for everyone, we must ask, 'How would you like to be walked home?'"
