Dear Family & Friends of Norman,

We extend to you our deepest sympathies for yours and our loss. Norm demonstrated principles and purpose in his life. He gifted me personally a friendship when I was in need and encouraged to me grow in the understanding of a contented and peaceful life... no matter the circumstance. He taught me in many ways to live fully in the power of the present day. I am grateful for having walked in the legacy of his footpath and the gift of his Serenity. He will be missed, but not forgotten.

May the God of your understanding console you in these present days.
