I worked in the Athletic Dept. when Norm was our wonderful custodian. He was a very caring, faithfilled man. I heard many stories of all the things he and Frances did with his granddaughters that he loved so much. God speed Norm and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. You now have an angel in heaven to watch over all of you.##imported-begin##Ann Helminski##imported-end##

I was sad to here of my uncles passing and I know you a going through a difficult time right now, but you can be sure that God knows it too. I wish I could do or say something to make everyhing alright for you all, but since I can't I just want yu to know that I am praying for you. I know that there are times we do not understand why things happen the way they do, and I don't have all the answers but I do know this much, God will not let you go through this by yourselves. He will be with you all in the same way He has always been there when you needed Him and He wants so much to comfort you. He will give you the courage to carry on and the strength to handle whatever comes your way. Remember when He leads your life you are never alone.
I have not known where you were but do know that you all hold a very special place in my heart. I am grateful to God for the family that you all were to me when I needed one. I have many fond memories of unlce Norm and remember well being spoiled by him, due to me being his first niece.
I will be praying for you all and may the Holy Spirits comfort be just what you need. Love "Moose"
