To my family, i want to say that I love all of you and i pray that we all look to the LORD JESUS CHRIST, in whom we can find strength that we never knew existed. God is such a soverign God and trust me he makes no mistakes. Uncle Norman touched all of our lives in some form or another, wether he gave advice, raised some of us and even whipped us when necessary. We will all miss him, but I ask that you forever cherish his memories in your heart. And remeber there is always a bright side in Christ Jesus. Surely the LORD has brought us to this time of mourning and he also promised in his word (St. Matthew chapter 5) that he would comfort those that mourn. "STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD"



I Love you all
