Your friendship has enriched our lives
You and Jean; we are a little family
Each day we look forward to seeing you
And sharing laughter and jokes
We talk about our kids and their kids
How different the world is today than
When we were just kids ourselves
The changes in our lives has moulded us
Friends are so special because they add so much
You and Jean have become our very dear friends
Together we have laughed and cried
While being there for each other
But the laughter and joy you have given us
Is what the true meaning of being a friend is;
And yet...when we need to talk about something
You are always there to listen
You have surrounded us with your caring
Your heart speaks a wonderful language
The gift you have shared with us...
Is...Yourself
With friends we can share precious moments
A grandchild being born; the wonder of life itself
Our precious memories we have made together
We will treasure...forever
Thank you for being our friends Norman and Jean
You have enriched our lives with your love
Your humor and sensitivity and your love;
Your precious, precious love
Our dear friend Norman
We love you dearly
And we are concerned
About your illness
But one thing we need to say is
We will be with Jean and remain friends
Because that's what true friends do
When hard times come upon us
We will be her rock to lean on
We promise you this dear one
And we will share tears and joy
And wait until we see you again
Loving Dedicated To You,
Norman,
For The Love And Warmth And Humor
You Have Shown Us And Shared With Us
You Are What We Call...
...A Friend
With All Our Love,
Ron and Betty
