Dear Natalie and Family,
Joe and I were truly saddened to hear of the passing of Norm, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. We always had a lot of fun when we all got together and I can still hear Norm's big laugh whenever something funny was done or said, I'm sure he is up there already getting a game of pitch going. He will be missed by many, God bless each of you in this time of sadness.
With much love,
Joe and Mary Bateman
