The Angels sing and the trumps resound; God has welcomed Norman home and said, "welcome home my good and faithful servant...enter thou into the joy of thy Lord!" Norman will be greatly missed here on earth, but we as Christians know without a doubt we will indeed see him again in Heaven. Bob and Patti, we share in this sorrow, but share in the joy that we know Norman is at peace and in the arms of our Father. God Bless you and be with you in this time.

As the gates of Heaven open, the trumpets sound, the Angels sing, and the first words spoken to Norman are "welcome my true and faithful servant, a job well done". Well Norman it was a long 11 years, now you are with Jean. You will be remembered for starting each day with prayer for all of us here and for all of the missionaries home and abroad.
