Dear Rickey, Sandy & Sheryd:

I am saddened to hear of Michaels passing. I'm sure it was a great shock to your family and also the ones who have known your family for so many years.

We go back some time, you, my mother Sue, along with the family, had many happy times together in the Lowell area.

I believe that Norton has welcomed Michael home and that we will all see one another in the future, when the time is right.
Warm Personal Thoughts,
