Paul, Mike, Joy, Denise and Julie, My deepedt sympathy to all of you and your families. Oh, what a dear man Norman was. I remember all of the wonderful times we use to have at your house on Sunday afternoons and I think we made that visit at least once a month. I told Beth I"m not sure now if we even called to say we were coming but I hope we did, however it didn't seem to matter because we were always welcome.

Norman is the last of the Gemain boys ,he lived a good life and brought much happiness to this world, I'm sure he will bring happiness to the next world as well. May God bless his soul.

Much love to all of you. Hope I can come to a reunion soon, would love to see all of you. If you come to Florida you are welcome in our home anytime. We love living in The Villages. Celia Germain Craft

I did not know Mr. Germain, but I know his daughter, Denise. Judging from her, he must have been a very good man. My prayers are with you.

Although I did not know him well, I met Mr. Germain several times and had delightful conversations with him and his wife. I know they are both sorely missed.
