Dear Norman,

I can not believe that Monday (04/28/03) was the last time that I will see you, talk to you and shake your hand. What happened to you could have happened to any of us…I hate to admit that you are the lamb of sacrifice. I hate to lose, but what can one do at time like this?.....when a good friend like you is being referred to in past tenses….when all your efforts and life pursuits stopped abruptly….and death took you away. Why you?????

You are a great loss!

Someone told me it was your time to go….but I do not believe in stuff like that…. All I know is that God does not do bad things, he is merciful, and things (either Bad or Good) do actually happen for a reason. I want you to know that, even though you are gone, we are still a team. With help of God and through your family we will fulfill your dreams…

Keep the flag flying in heaven – while you watch over us as we try to come to terms with your death and pray for your soul to rest in peace. You lived a short life and yet you touched a lot of lives – You lent me your calculator to take my final exam in BAFI 480. It was not that simple, you were actually waiting for me at the lobby (PBL), and I was late to meet with you as arranged. Despite the fact that you were tired, you waited patiently with a smiley face, and gave me what I needed for the final exam. This was the last exam that concluded my MBA program….that was the last time I saw you….I wish your death was a joke, I wish it was reversible….I wish I had one more chance to spend some time with you…

I hope I said “Thank you”….and if did not, I am saying “Thank you” now, I did not realize it was our last meeting…..

Rest in peace!!!

Your friend
