Finch, Norma Jean (Memoriam) IN LOVING MEMORY OF NORMA JEAN FINCH Sept. 10, 1940 - March 7, 2004 Last year God saw you were getting tired, When a cure was not to be. So he closed his arms around you And whispered, Come to me. You didn't deserve what you went through And so he gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best And when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. We miss you and hold you in our memory everyday. All our love, Harold, Jan, Joy, Jay and Family Published in the Standard-Examiner on 3/7/2005. Hegstrom, Harvey R. Major Harvey R.
