We were so sorry to hear the passing of Norman. We will always remember the nice conversations and our many laughs we had together. I always liked the jokes he made of his wife Claire because you could see the twinkle of love in his eyes for her! They worked well together and enjoyed life together. In your grief... may you know that Norman is only a breath away and one day we will all meet him again when we too make the journey home.
God Bless You All!
