Norman had many health challenges, but never complained so let us end the Service of Memory with this scripture:
2Timothy4:7-8
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Special thanks to the staff of Ewing-Schwarzel who have shown their care and concern for our family.
