Norm and Family,
It’s been a long road for you. We have shared many stories together and you both will missed.
Norm, we have shared our wisdom to guide our children to adulthood. Every now and then, the wisdom they share with us has great value.

You all will be in our prayers.

Sincerely,
Linda and Bob Furst

Ron, Howard, and Norman:

My condolences at the passing of Geri. She was a lovely woman and an outstanding mom to Ron and Howard and grandmother to Daniel, Roberta, and Marc. May her memory be for a blessing.

Howard, Ron, and Norman,
I am so sorry for your loss. Alzheimer’s is such a cruel disease but even though the best of Geri was gone, you never failed to stand beside her or at her bedside and loved her until her life was done. No one could ask for more.

Upon the death of anyone I’ve cared about, I always think of the saying on a tombstone in Ireland —

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal;
Love leaves memories no one can steal.”

I hope you can laugh through your tears as you recall the best of times over these next days and weeks. You’re all in my prayers.
