Dear Sue, Tommy, and Adrea,

You all are in our prayers and here is a verse I hope will help you during your time of bereavement. "In one of the stars I shall be living In one of them, I shall be laughing. When you look at the sky at night...

and there is sweetness in the laughter of all the stars and in the memories of those you love." Look toward the Heaven from where all strength and help come. With heartfelt Sympathy. Lucia, Latasha, Whitney and the rest of the Norris Family.
