Dear Larry, I just heard about the loss of your wife, Norma. My prayers and heartfelt thoughts are with you and your family. Larry, I never had the pleasure of meeting Norma, however, by reading the condolences from faithfilled friends, she was quite a loving person. Larry, you have honored Norma throughout the years and will continue to do so. May the Lord lend a soothing shoulder to you and your family. Sincerely, a friend, Lupe'. One more thing, your friend, Janet Routzong, expresses her sympathy during your time of mourning.
