Norm & family, so sorry to just now read of your mom's passing. I can remember her coming down to my mom's & they would sit & drink tea & chat away the time. I can remember walking the back road up to your house when you lived by the feed store. She lived a good life & isn't suffering now. May you have comfort in knowing that she is in heaven. Again, so sorry for your loss.

We know you went directly to Heaven and were met by Harold, Thelma and Deanna. God bless you! Love, your Grandson.
