Beth and Rob,

Our deepest sympathy is with you and your families.

Norma was an extrodinary lady. I could always count on a wave or quick chat when she drove by the house. She kept me up to date on what you guys were up to. The "old" neighborhood has really changed. Not too many of the original's still here.

Please know you all are in our thoughts.

Ronnie and Sandra Bell
