Sylvia and Ida Lee … not sure if my previous message went through, but I just saw this about your dad after doing a net search. He was a special person with an unforgettable sense of humor, an ever-present smile and grace not given to many men. My best wishes to you both. I read that your mom has Alzheimer's, and you may not be aware that my mom suffered from it too in her latter years (she died in 2008), but still always remembered that Lillie was her best friend and Norman a wonderful friend as well.

I have not got the words to say how much I loved the Rebalsky's. I work at the hospital and I would see them every week for the past 7 years. It will not be the same without him. All the my love and prayers go out to his family.

how do you find enough words to "remember" Mr Rebalsky? He was so intelligent and willing to share. I would never have known how to find out if food was kosher if i hadnt met him. what a wonderful love he had for Lillie. So much love he went ahead of her to make sure God would have everything just right for her arrival. and so very proud of his family, mention his daughters and he would light up the room. mention David and we wouldnt need the sun. Their niece in Denver made them so proud also. It was such a pleasure to be able to serve them, but in turn they listened to my family pride too. I love Norman and Lillie, and will miss them so..my prayers and sympathy for the family. they were a very precious couple, and such love you dont see often. thank you for sharing them with me.

You are a very special friend and your dad is so very special also in so many ways. He is someone Rich and I look up to. He would go the extra mile in what ever venture he would take on. The strength and his love of life was so very apparent in all he did. His devoted love to Lillie is so very Special. You are so fortunate to have had such a loving caring farther. He will be dearly missed.

My dearest Sylvia, I have been blessed with our friendship for 28 years. During that time I was there when David was born and you have shared so many stories about Norman. He is truly a man that you immediately respect. I have enjoyed the articles and letters that he has sent you. And most recently your journey with Norman and Lillie. I have found that you are like your Dad and I know he will live on through you and David. But most of all the endless love of your parents, a true love story. May God bless you and family at this time. All my love and continued prayers.

Lillie, I am so sorry for losing Norman. Sylvia, you sent me a letter after I sent a xmas card last year to Norman and Lillie...I was Lillie's physical therapist off and on at Penrose and LOVED Norman and Lillie. They were so sweet to me and Lillie was the one in pain. I will never forget them--they touched my life and I think of them often. Thank you for the letter and god bless at this time.

Our world has lost an amazing man. Norman was so devoted to his family and was always quick to accept a stranger as a friend. We'll miss his friendly smile and his attention to details but know he will always be in our hearts and watching us from above.

Remembering you, Norman,at a dinner that you and Lillie hosted at your house in Ramstein, Germany in 1976, where Sylvia and I began our journey of friendship. Your wit and wonderful love of family remain as precious memories in my heart. You are a treasure of commitment and acts of kindness that reflect on those you leave behind. May God hold a special place for you until we meet again.
