Cyrene, Audery & Family:



Prayers go out that you may find comfort at this time. We sometimes never understand God's timing for our lives, but must trust His ways. I remember most Norm taking us to gymnastics at the Y. He was always so concientious about our safety; his right arm always went out to protect us from crashing into the dashboard when he had to stop the car quickly. A very loving arm, I'm sure.



Thoughts & Prayers,



Brenda
