Norm gave me great counsel as one of his clients. He told me something which I will never forget, he said "These were the cards you were dealt with, when you accept this, you will be able to move forward." I hold on to that till this day because he was right. Norm was a kind gentleman and I am forever grateful for having met him. God bless you my friend.
