May God grant you and your family peace during this time. May He uplift you and comfort you as only He can. My prayers are with you.
Sadly on Saturday, we lost one of our Confederate compatriots, Corporal Norman Lovorn. Norman was a member of the Honor Guard for the Gen. Felix H. Robertson Camp #129 Sons of Confederate Veterans.
“I’ll eat when I’m hungry, I’ll drink when I’m dry,
If the Yankees don’t kill me, I’ll live until I die,
If the Yankees don’t kill me and cause me to mourn –
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!”
– I AM A REBEL SOLDIER
Norman was a member of the George M Denton Masonic Lodge 24 and the Felix H. Robertson, Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 129, with me. He never said much but he was a tireless worker for both groups and he will be sorely missed by both groups.
Norman was a great friend to have. He was liked by all. He was very proud of his Confederate ancestry. He volunteered and worked hard on many diifferent things in Confederate groups.
He will be greatly missed
My deepest sympathy to the family.
I’ve known Norman since attending school at LaVega. Norman was a good person and always friendly and cheerful. I enjoyed talking with Norman many times. He recently attended our class reunion where he and many LaVega classmates re-connected. My sincere sympathy for his immediate family and friends. May he and his family find peace during this difficult time.
Jan, I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss. May you find the comfort and strength you need during this difficult time.
I am truly sorry to hear of Norman’s passing. I went to school with him at LaVega. He was such a nice guy. Prayers for his wife and children during this time of mourning.
Jan and family, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Norman was always a quite gentle person. Prayers for all during this difficult hour.
Praying that God will grant Norman’s family peace and comfort as they travel through this valley. I, too, went to La Vega with Norman and agree with all his other classmates have said. He was a funny, quiet, gentle soul. I’m so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss.
Jan, Megan, John, Daniel and Stephen, sending you lots of love hugs and prayers
