I just want to thank you again for your kindness. I pray for the Lord to give you and your girls strength though your sadness. God Bless. Thank you
To the Norman family, I am so sad to hear of Tim’s passing. I have many fond memories of seeing him and Sarah around Glasgow when I was a young girl growing up on the corner or Main and Broadway. They were always holding hands when I saw them at the Plaza Theater and Grinstead’s Grocery. etc. They looked so happy together.
When I was just little girl I would go down to Brown’s Ice Cream Factory where Tim worked and he and Mrs. Kinslow would give me free samples of ice cream. Tim was always such a kind person. I loved seeing him and Sarah together through the years. I will miss Tim’s smiling face.
May God wrap his loving arms around Sarah, Kathy, Jenny Lu and all family and give them comfort now and the days ahead. I regret that I am unable to come to the service, but please know you are all in my prayers. God bless.
Sarah I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts go out to you and your family. Prayers for God to give you strength in the days ahead. God Bless
Sarah, Kathy, and Jenny Lu, we were so sorry to hear of the passing of Tim. May God hold you close during the difficult days ahead. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Jenny Lu and members of your family–A note to offer condolences for the loss of your father. Blessings upon each and every one of you.
