You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. Fred and Ferol Borkowski Posted 5/9/07 Dear MIke & Nicole and all the family, Our Prayers and Condolences go out to you at this time of loss and sorrow. Though in some ways it seems that Uncle Norm left us some time ago in that his health challenges veiled the real him, it always renders a shock to have our dear ones take that last step away into forever. We shall miss Norm... I can always enjoy the conversations about cars, motors, repairs, and the stuff of life that we both enjoyed. And how we still miss Aunt Joyce, too.... what a precious lady. May God's presence and promises become real peace and and an "umbrella" of hope. Sincerely, David & Gayle (Cruzan) Sims and family Posted 5/9/07 Mike, You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts today and always. I have great memories of Uncle Norm. We always had such fun together. We seemed to tease each other quite a bit! Aunt Joyce and Uncle Norm used to take us Cruzan cousins on a canoe trip on the Pine River each year when we were young. We would go whether it was thunder storms or freezing and we had a great time! You had two wonderful parents and they are truly missed. Love, Janis May Posted 5/9/07 Hi Mike and Nicole, As David has already mentioned, you and entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. Each memory I have of your dad includes fun, teasing and lots of laughter. He always made me feel I was his favorite niece until one day I realized that each of his nieces and nephews were his favorite! He was a great listener and had a wonderful way of showing an interest in each of us at every family gathering. I will always cherish the memories I have of your parents and the love they always showed to me. Love, Gayle Posted 5/9/07
