Norman K. Mailer

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Rest Norman, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

My condolences to the family of Norman Mailer for your loss.

What a loss for the literary world!
Wise King Solomon once said, "The words of the wise ones are like oxgoads, and just like nails driven in, are those indulging in collections of sentences,.....As regards anything besides these, my son take a warning: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion to them is wearisome to the flesh. The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man.-----Ecclesiastes 12:11-13

For Norman...

We once did a show together
and it remains one of the
most memorable days
in my life.

The is for you...ol friend.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Norris and family: I will miss most the way he would walk into the restuarant; and he wouldn't give anything else a second thought. It always made me feel good to see him, you and the rest of your guests. I will miss his sweet kiss. Take care and know that I love you.

Lived like a man. Wrote like a man. All out.

While you are mourning the loss of a loved one, others are rejoicing to meet them behind the veil.

We (in Denver) are thinking of you all at this time....May good memories lighten your heart.

My deepest sympathy. RIP

you will be miss. Your work will always have place in my heart.

I was a big fan. I loved each and every one of his books and articles. He was a wonderful talent, the likes of which , we will only see once in a lifetimes. Thank you Norman!

my sincere condolences to all the family, and particularly to my old schoolfriend kate whom i think of with affection and would love to hear from sometime.

My dad always remembered you from Long Branch. He was older.. and gone now too.. but, he used to tell me about your grandparents and their store in town..
I spent much time in Ptown, and always wanted to meet you to tell you about my dad and Long Branch.. and I never got to until now.

Love to your family from the Jersey Shore

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
