I am so sorry to hear of Norman's passing. He holds a special place in our family's hearts and I always loved receiving a card from him at Christmas. I know that he is with his beloved Margaret and they are walking hand-in-hand looking over all of you. Hugs to you all!

His warm smile and the way his face lit up around children was heartwarming. He never missed an opportunity to share a hug ~ or a chocolate "kiss." He will be missed at church. God bless the family of Mr. Westbrook....
