Norma, what wonderful news! I'm sure Ken has been wonderful at times and big pain in the "you know what" at other times. Okay, okay, I know what a GREAT guy you are, Ken, and I know Norma is your #1 and you are taking great care of her. I only wish we could be there to help out a little bit. From here, we will do our best asking God for His help in making your recovery complete. Take good care of each other - you just never know what will happen next, do you? Our prayers and love to you both. Jean & Rick

Ken & Norma - Way to go! You have both come a long way! Thank God for that hole that allowed us all to see the light through those dark clouds. After spending your lives helping others, we had the chance, through prayer, to help you. The distance prevents Mary and I from helping out and staying with Norma. When we come to town, maybe we can get together for breakfast! On second thought, let's just order in lunch! Thanks for bringing Dick Gove back into my life. Everything happens for a reason! In a few days we will be riding around listening to Dave singing the Ricky Nelson songs! Knowing all of you when you started, it's like a big reunion! Norma, if you just wanted to get us all back together, next time use email! Life is good! Our prayers continue! Rex & Mary

I just realized that I have a captive audience there...How about I show up and do a special rendition of Alice's Restaurant AND Catholic Girls???? Would that be enough to get you out of bed? Hmmmm...most folks it would be. Anyway, you know you have my best thoughts all the time. Speedy recovery.....or I mean it...I WILL show up singing!!!

Norma and Ken, We have been thinking and praying for both of you and your families. Norma is such a wonderful leader. She has motivated me and many many others to reach for higher and loftier goals. Your influence over your business, NSSEA, and everyone that knows you has been nothing short of brilliance. You are fantastic and I wish you a speedy recovery. Andy Gattas Memphis, TN

You two are such an incredible love story! From the first reading of how Norma called you on the cell phone to tune in together to a great song on the radio, to your steadfast commitment to have around-the-clock watch by her side, to the delightful sense of humor you both have shown throughout this difficult time, you have blessed us all by letting us peek into the lives of two uniquely individual people totally committed to teach other for a lifetime, and very much in love. How refreshing! How romantic! I am just sorry this beautiful story unfolding before us has been under these circumstances. It looks like this love story has many more chapters to go, and stories to be told. Please be assured that prayers and blessings continue for both of you (and Scooter, too) for many for years of happy & healthy times shared.
