As I am riding thru Atlanta heading to Kennesaw for a birthday party for a friend who I grew up with in Norfolk VA I once again try to find my best friend from Norview High School in Norfolk. I have searched for years knowing she was originally from the Athens area. Then I see this obituary and I am sure it is my friend Terri Murzynski whose father was in the Navy and worked part time at a hotel in Norfolk. The family was reassigned and we lost touch. Rest in peace Terri.
