Geo & families: So sorry for your lost. Keeping you in my prayers. Remember your fun times of memories & it will keep him in your heart.
Norbert worked with my husband. And was a fine example of a good man. I loved getting Christmas cards every year from he and Katie and how much he praised my Christmas envelopes I decorated for their cards. I am so glad I drew him and card this year and not just an envelope. I am sure his family is very proud of his legacy of honor and strength. Make him proud, he will be watching.
