I have some fond memories of Norm from many years ago. Now I pray that your hearts be comforted as you grieve the loss of a dear husband, father, and grandfather. Jesus said, "Because I live, you shall live also." What comfort to know that our Lord has received him into the eternal glory of heaven.
