Norma Jean, I am so sorry for your loss. I often think back to all the years Doris and I were in school together, the summer days riding our bikes, attending Kolmont Church together. Except for the occasional GKL Reunions we lost touch as so often happens when we graduate high school and go our separate lives. Praying that God will see you through this difficult time.
