"May God be with you all at this time of sorrow! Bill and I and my husband Alan ,all got reacquainted at Nye Legacy on the front porch! My father and my husband were Hormel men for many years along with Bill! To them he was one of the nicest guys they ever knew at work! My Dad used to tell Bill stories about me when I was a little girl and Bill used to love to tell me the stories he told him. We had fun laughing on the porch at Nye Legacy talking about those stories! Fond memories for me of your Bill Norenberg!! May he Rest In Peace!!,"
