Officer Down Memorial Page

Norman,

I wish I could just talk with you. I can remember talking to you about any subject and it would never go any farther than us. I miss that because you were a gentlemen no matter what was said. You were rare and I have not found that in any male. I guess I can say that you were my best friend and a confidant. It can get kind of lonely not being able to talk confidently with someone without the fear of it not staying between you and the individual. It is hard to trust these days because individuals are always about self and they don't think of the individuals emotions and what might be wrong. It feels like this world is going to hell in a hand basket and the spiral just can't stop. The world has lost a fine man such as yourself and there seems to not be any individuals to replace the fine men and women that are lost to the grave. Your parent's generation, your generation, and my generation was raised differently by leaps and bounds. The scriptures are right when it said, "To spare the rod is to spoil the child". The Creator showed this when he punished Cain! My parents never held back the rod that is why I am glad they punished me because it made me a better person. After a certain age, it is too late to instill values in a person and bumping the head is how that person learns because the time of development has passed. I don't what to go on because it's like I'm talking to myself :)! I love you Norman! Be at PEACE.
