Norma Jean was such a loving
person. We had a chance to visit
with her at the Griffith/Rihner
reunion last summer and enjoyed
her very much. My twin Brother
Dale passed away this past
year. He must have enjoyed visiting her at the reunions as
well. From first cousin Daryl
and wife Twila you have our
deepest sympathy

My prayers are with you I for one will miss you but I will see you again when it's my time to go. Save me a good spot. God Bless you Norma Flowers.
