So sorry for your loss, Beckie. You and Norm had a great partnership. I used to see both of you on Tuesdays when we'd talk while waiting for the Meals on Wheels van to deliver the meals containers. I enjoyed meeting you and Norm, and hope the best for you now.

Norm and Beckie Govert became neighbors of my parents in 1966 when I was 10 years old. They were still neighbors when each of my parents passed—51 years later. You couldn’t ask for better neighbors. They were always willing to help Dad and Mom as they got older. They kept watch on them for me when I couldn’t be there. My husband, Tim, and I always enjoyed talking to Norm. It will be strange knowing he’s not there with Beckie. Rest well, dear neighbor. ❤

Beckie, I knew NORM almost 80 yrs..(1947).His smile was contagious. When I saw him at REUIONS, I knew I was welcomed by his "SMILE" . Next time NORM & I meet I'll recognize him by his "SMILE". GOD bless you and the family.
