Please share these details with those who you believe would like to attend.
Please also feel comfortable contacting me if you wish. I am a veteran myself, and I extend my sincere thanks to the veteran community who has supported Norm and our family, not only during these last few months but for many years.
With love from Norm’s son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Mark, Naama and Hanna”.
