Thank
You
From The Family Of
Sergeant Justin Norton
We would like to take a moment to thank all of the businesses
and people who came together to honor our fallen son, Justin
Norton. We have been dealt a sorrow so deep, it is impossible
to face alone. Had it not been for the support of the many
friends, family, businesses, and even complete strangers,
we wouldn't have been able to get through this most difficult
time.
It
is only proper that we thank the following people and organizations
for their incredible compassion: Mills & Mills Funeral
Home and Memorial Gardens and its staff, Lacey Firefighters
Association, Thurston County Sheriff's Department, Y.C.O.M.
Networks, Puerto Vallerta Restaurant, the Gold Star Mothers,
the Patriot Guard, the V.F.W., the American Legion, Rainier
High School, the Yelm Chamber of Commerce, the City of Rainier,
the Rainier Sportsman's Club, Rite Aid, Safeway of Yelm
and Lacey, Q.F.C., Annette Gavette, Belinda Hayner, Danielle
Westbrook, and Cassie Soto.
Thank
you to the Bagpipers for the beautiful music and to Dave
Pearsall for the releasing of the doves. The establishment
of www.justinnorton.net and its subsequent support by Sandi
Hanson and Michelle Armstrong of Prairie Techies has been
invaluable. Thank you to our amazing family; you are all
pillars of strength that we were able to lean upon. Thank
you to Wendi Shaw, Brian Van MondFrans, Erika Haakenson,
Shannon Anderson, Sara DeVore, Sherrie Carver, Natalie Catalana,
Marie Schnieder, Kent and Tina Mace, and all of our neighbors
who gave their support.
Our
deepest gratitude is extended to all others for their kind
words, silent hugs, and thoughts of support. Lastly, we
want to express thanks for all of the beautiful flowers,
cards, and scholarship donations to the Justin D. Norton
Scholarship Fund (www.justinnorton.net)
that we have received.
With deepest thanks,
Gary and Chris Warnock
