Life is often not fair, and my father may have known that better than most. I hope that he may rest in peace.

Norman, Ruth, & David,
I will never forget the memories of growing up on Center Street and all the fun we had from runnning across the street in our jammies on Christmas morning to see what Santa left us to driving the old car on the back roads to Carmichals store. So many memories to hold onto I can only pray they will help ease some of the pain for you through this tough time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
