Norma and Chrildren,
I had the honor to be associated with Norma and Kenneth, I worked with Norma many year's ago, and when Kenneth came to visit he always had a smile on his face, a story to tell of family and the love of his country (being a military man him self). We will miss this kind soul in the coming years, and to you Norma may God hold you in his arms to confort you/ bless you, and always lean on your chrildren at all times
