Aunt Gladys,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Uncle Norm. I sat and reflected on the many, many times we had over the years. I was very excited when I came to "the woods" with Nanna and Pappy. I wish you the very best and I have every intention to attend the reunion next year. God Bless!

For Gladys and family:
May god be with you during this tough time. My heart goes out to you. If you need anything, please feel free to call me. I am thinking of you through this. Norman was a terrific neighbor and friend to our family. He will be deeply missed. I was saddened when I got the call from my daughter of his passing. I remember him cutting the grass, cleaning the gutters. Norm and my husband used to hang out a whole day long in the yard. My grandchildren thought of him as their Uncle and Gladys as their Aunt.Hugs!

To all the family and friends of Norm:
We lived next door to He and Gladys for many years. They were practically family. They helped my parents through so much when my parents battled their cancers. He will be dearly missed. I have many fond memories of Norm. My children always called him Uncle Normy. May he be resting peacfully and probably snow mobiling up in heaven as my kids have said. Hugs and kisses to Gladys and the family!
