I grieve with you, Doris, (lost my husband June 11). My deepest condolences and prayers are with you and your family. We are never ready to lose them...but I know they are waiting in heaven for us. You and Norman are two beautiful people that I thank God I had the fortune to meet and get to know. May God watch over you through this sad time and restore your heart. -- Margie

Norman and Doris were my parents best friends traveling in Eastern Star. They enjoyed their company so much. I always loved visiting with them. Norman was such a gentle soul. I appreciated all he did to help my Dad after my Mother passed away.
Our love and sympathy goes to Doris and all the family
