I was so very sorry to learn of Grampy Norm's passing away. As I have been following your adventures I feel as though I had also met Grampy Norm. He was the ideal grandfather that we all wish we had.
You could see the love that was projected from him to everyone, especially to the grandchildren.

What a shock to the heart reading about the passing of Grampy Norm Saturday he was playing with all the grandkids on the playground he so lovenly built for them, and on Sunday he went to his heavenly home. Life on earth can change in the blink of an eye. Everyday should play out as Saturday. Much love, peace and comfort for all of your family, and especially for Liam as one could see the bond he shared with his Grampy Norm. Hug them all a little bit more tonight.
I am so sad about your loss
