We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And though we can not see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Norm, you were truly loved. I cannot begin to say how much you meant to me. I didn' t know until yesterday, my heart is broken and I feel like part of me is missing. You were my best friend and you were so good to me. I will miss your kindness, your laugh, your sense of humor. You were the hardest working man I ever knew. You truly were a diamond in the rough. Lots of love to all your family.
Love always, Nancy

I met Norman in the late 70's and we stayed in contact one-to-one occasionally and mostly thru our mutual friend Karrin, when he was out west. He was a generous person, truly liked people, loved life. My heart knows he is still with us thru memories and watching over everyone. Sincerely.
