I had no idea that Uncle Norman had died, until just this minute (5:30PM, Monday, June 8, 2009). I am so sorry to read that he's passed. I love him, and know that you all adore him...I know he's in Heaven now, and hope that that knowledge gives you all peace of heart. God rest Uncle Norm's soul, and bless you all.
