So surprised and sad to read about Norris. In seeking info. about Mary Ellen Willis and her whereabouts, an attempt was made to contact Norris or Lane for possible info. It was then we learned about Norris and also Lane.
As children, many pleasant hours were spent with Homer, Sarah and family. Our sympathy, thoughts and prayers to the family.

Sincerely, the family in B'ham: Bob, son of Elsie Ponder Crawford and Carolyn, dtr. of Windy and Dot Ponder Johnson.
