Dear Bette,
The passing and loss of Norman is very sad. No one will replace his wonderful smile and kind words he always shared with Roger and me.How he loved his grapefruit and how Roger loved bringing
them to him. He sat so intently listening to you and Roger reminising
about the Sumner family, with a big smile on his face.We have nothing but great memories to cherish of our beloved Norman. Love you,Roger&Winnie

Dearest Elizabeth,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Norman. I regret that I learned the sad news a week later, but I know you were surrounded by family & friends during his last days. He was a wonderful man & you were an outstanding caregiver for many years as he fought his health battles. I am sure your condo seems very empty now & that your heart is heavy. Cry whenever you need to & express your emotions - don't keep them all bottled up inside!!! Wish I was there to give you a BIG HUG!!! Miss you my dear friend - Love & Sympathy - Debbie Gosselin & el Capitano - M/V Marika - Present Location - Rodney Bay Marina, St.Lucia.

Bette & Family
We were very sorry to hear this. Uncle Norm will always be remembered for the many Byrnes family reunions he was so involved in & headed for many years, after he initiated them in the 60's. We were so looking forward to & hoping he would be at the reunion this year. He will be sorely missed. We sent our love to all of you & wish we could be there. We now are very glad, that we were able to spend a lovely evening with Uncle Norm and you last Nov. He was one of our favorite uncles of the many we have & had. He usualy called on our many birthdays and anniversities, resulting in many fond memories of things done with him.
Love to you all - Joan & Ed Byrnes Jr (1-1)
