Our condolences to the Norman family, when I came to Lord Label in the 1970's it was my honor to become friends with the Norman family. To Rita, Pam, Steve and David, words cannot be expressed for the sorrow you must feel at this time, but we all can take comfort in knowing that one day we shall all be together again. To my friend Tom, RIP till we meet again.
God bless and love to all,

I have known Tom and his family since the early 70's. He was always kind and thoughtful to everyone. I think the thing I remember most about him is his wonderful sense of humor. My prayers for his wife Rita and all of his family and friends. We will all miss you.

I know we haven't talked in a while but I will miss your kindness, friendship, and most of all your humor. I served with you for many years. I appreciate your wisdom and your prospective. Your absence will be our loss here on earth but I rejoice in the fact that you're walking with Jesus. Thank you my friend.

Wish the light of this candle could replace the light we lost when Tom died.
But he is now a shining light in Heaven!
May God comfort you and your family and bring you peace.
