Susan,
I will never forget how good Warren and Sis were to me as we were growing up. I will always remember Warren taking us fishing and you sat down on a fishing hook. It doesn't matter how old you are when you loose your parents, you are just never the same.... Blessings.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Norwood. When I worked at the New Albany Gazette in the mid 1980s, I fondly remember spending an afternoon with he and his wife at their home in Hurricane and doing a feature article on them. Both of them were very interesting and I knew they both loved people and their community as well. He is the same age as my father. I know you will miss him.
