Please know you can ask us at any time for assistance and we'll be there for you.

Hi Doris
Although Ev and I have known you and Noton for only 6 years, we feel like we have known you forever and considered you as best friends . Also, Alex had new motorhome mommy and daddy. I thought I had a shopping partner and motorhome co-pilot for a long time, however God had other plans. Norton will live forever as far as I'm concerned as he had many friends and we will never forget him and will always be by your side. It was a sad day at Grand Chapter in Saratoga when his passing was announced, which shows how many lives he touched.
With love
Dave Blovat

Dear Doris,
Irony takes place at odd times, just when you and Norton were able to settle to a lovely new retired life with a beautiful new home and a Beemer for Norton, He is taken from
you and us. Sorry for your loss,
Sincerely, Alice LauKaitis

A story I heard as a child....A little boy over heard his mother and doctor talking about his failing health and how much time he has...The boy after church services on Sunday goes to the priest and asks "What is it like to die?" "Well says the priest you know when there is a thunderstorm and your afraid and you run to your parents bed and nessle between them and fall asleep?" "Yes" says the little boy..."Well did you ever notice that the next morning you wake up in your own bed and the birds are singing and the sun is shining?" "Yes" says the boy..."Well that is what it is like". Norton over the past few months past through many storms with only partly sunny skies....Today he is basking in the warmth of the day's sun and will shine bright in the evening sky. Thank you for welcoming us into your life. We will miss you dear friend.

dear doris and family, this guest book will bring you comfort in the days to come. We had one after Ken's nephew died and Kate would read and reread the messages. It gives great comfort to know so many people share your sorrow and keep you in their prayers. Love, Sandy & Ken

Doris--
Jan and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. You and Norton made many good friends on your travels through Eastern Star.
I am not very good with words. I know that the memories you have will comfort you through the hard times ahead.
You can take comfort in knowing Norton is not in pain anymore. We will miss him and his humor.
Love,
Jan and Parky

Dear Doris,
Words cannot adequately express the sorrow we feel on Norton's passing. We can only thank God, that through Eastern Star, we were able to meet you both and become friends. As the days and weeks pass, and you return to your routine, may the love of your friends and family give you strength. Good memories will be with us always. Peace to you, dear friend.

Dear Doris,
Our heavy hearts are lightened as we realize that Norton is no longer suffering the pain and indignities of illness, but rather is with our Heavenly Father. Although we will miss him, we have wonderful memories of his kind nature, his strength of spirit, and his amazing sense of humor. We pray that you
will feel God's hand sustaining you in the days to come. Kay and Ron
