To the Norman Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Bro. Norman was a friend to all and a wonderful role model for his children and church family. He never met a person that he didn’t want to talk to. We will miss his humble spirit and his warm smile.
However, we know that he is with the Lord and there is no better place. We pray that God will give you strength and sustain you during your time of bereavement.

Johnnie and I would like to thank each member of the Norman Family for all their support with taking care of our dad and his needs. Dad wanted me to let his children and grandchildren know that he loved you all very much and that he was so very proud of each of you. He will be terribly missed. Thank you to my family for showing our dad that he and mom did a wonderful job…Love you guys….Bird and Lori
Wow I want to say something so amazing that it will help with everyones pain, but I dont have the words for that. I was so blessed to spend time with my grandfather earlier this month. We laughed and joked I kissed him on his cheek and he told me he loved me. I wll never forget him. He is always and forever apart of me. To my NORMAN family I love you with everything I have inside of me and we will make it through this tuff time. I will be praying for everyone love, Charity Grace Norman

I would first like to say thank you to GOD for he is truly amazing, my dad knew that it was his time and I will always remember the half finished stories he told everyone. I want to thank my brothers and sisters for everything and I know we will make it, cause GOD says so. love you Dad.
I met Mr & Mrs Norman and the Norman Family 20+ years ago. I would like to express to each and everyone of you how wonderful of a family you are and the pleasure it has been being around you for so many years. I know God has a plan for Mr Norman, because he is one of his children, but he will be greatly missed. I will miss all the stories about all………the children and the grand children and he had some great stories. I will miss his friendly personality, his cooking and his wonderful laugh. You all are in my prayers and I love you all.
“Mr Norman we love you and you rest in peace.”
From behalf of G W Norman’s kids, we are very impressed with the out pour of love and comfort words displayed towards us during this difficult time. My Dad was a unique person- he touched a lot of people with his genuine sweet, cool demeanor. He will be missed but I’m glad he’s resting. Thanks for all prayers/support.
Oh, I also loved his half-finished stories
Big Dad such an amazing man, I never will forget when I first called him and asked him do you know who this is and he said ” I believe its that gal up there in Kansas City” I said yes Sir its Ce-Ce… I loved to call and talk to Big Dad because he always had something to tell me even when I was down he brought a smile to my face. To my Aunts and Uncles I love you more than my words could ever say. You all are my strenght and I THANK GOD for you. The Normans are a true example of what Gods meaning of a FAMILY is. Big Dad and Grandma Thank You for having a beautiful family.

To the Norman Family:
Sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a good neighbor and friend. I live two houses down in the white house. I first met your dad when your mom babysitted my son a couple of times. I have live on this street for 11 years. He always spoke and was very friendly. Would give me rides if he saw me walking. I will miss seeing him sitting on the front porch. I would sometimes go and sit and talk with him and when I hear that he was not feeling well would go check on him. Your dad will truly be miss. He was a great person. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
To the Norman Family:
Daddy Norman always filled my heart with joy. We would have some very interesting conversations that lead to looking at photo albums, which was pretty fun to see. He always had a sparkle in his eyes when he talked about his life and love ones. I will truly miss him and my prayers are with you.
Love Chirsty
