To the family of Norman and to aunt Norma I am sorry for your loss. Norman and I had a relationship of seeing who could have the last word🤣always jokingly. The last time we visited I was able to have prayer with Norm and he tearfully said thank you. God bless his family as they grieve and lay him to rest.
