Norma and Family, We recall the many good times we shared with you and John in Marriage Encounter before you moved back to Salina. You two had a special relationship and cherished each other so much. You are so fortunate to have 57 years of marriage together. May God keep you and walk with you during this time of grief. We are still in Topeka after all these years.
