Not sure what to say?

Much sympathy to you,Norm,on Betty's passing. Many fond memories of working together in the early days of my time with NARFE. Sincerly,

can i include a poem about my

songs my mother taught me
from an ancient book

from mother i would learn
now i often savor it
tunes and elegies
my mother used to know
on the aging piano...

Our thoughts are with you.
Kim, Cheryl and Chase Anderson
