We are very sorry and wanted to extend our sympathy to all of the family. It isn't natural to bury a child before the parent. He is at peace and free to love and serve the Lord in heaven. You know you will see him again when you get to that blessed place. God bless you all and give you peace and ease your sorrow.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Janet and Ken Wickett

For those of you who may not know me, I have been a close friend of Norma's since 9th grade. Mardel I am so sorry your boy is gone! I know you believe in the power of prayer and that is what I have been doing for your boy for a while now and I trust he is in the Heaven with Jesus today. My prayers will continue for Keith's family!
