Happy Mother's Day To Norma Carlson

GREENWICH, CT — Whether it's through their personalities, looks, hobbies, or a combination of everything, children become a reflection of the woman who raised them.

With Mother's Day 2021 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across the state to share their mother-daughter and mother-son photos. Happy Mother's Day!

Eileen Carlson Sierra submitted the following for mom Norma Carlson:

Why she is special: Mom passed last year from COVID-19, she lived in Cos Cob for 65 years and raised five children on Orchard Street. She was our rock, always there supporting us, cheering us on, and loving unconditionally. From Montreal originally, Mom would load the station wagon with all five of us and drive to Montreal alone to visit family when Dad had to work. Strong, independent, loving and kind-hearted, Mom was an amazing role model to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and and loved by all.

Message: Thank you Mom/Nanni for your unwavering love, support, kindness, and and nurturing. We miss you dearly! xo
