Our sympathy to you Lois, and to your family. We have been living near Dubuque IA for 15 years, but try to look at the Madison newspapers on the library computers. We are in Arizona for the winter at present. We have good memories of the years we knew you , Sara and Margaret while we were members too at Lake Edge UCC. We will be thinking of you.

Some of my most fond memories of growing up on Thorp St are hanging out at your house and waving to Norm (Mr Kvammen) in his truck. My sympathy to Stevie, Kenny and Lois. Will be thinking of you Friday as you say "till we meet again". With love and care, Beth (Baltes) Dibbert.

I am so sorry for your loss. Norm was good friends with my Mother and Father, Alice and Roy Hoverson. I have often thought of Norm during these years. I always remember when my parents and I would run into you and Norm there were always jokes passed around and much laughter. Norm was always happen when we met by chance after my parents passed. I wish you and your family God blessings.
