FUNERAL FOR ARTHUR BENJAMIN NORTON 1932-2018

The funeral for Dad Norton was held on Wednesday the 1st of August in Nampa Idaho. We kids went over early and set up the table with his family pictures and things that represented Art. His saddle was on display as well.

Ellie, Melissa and Livie with Tony!
 Father and grandfather to these 3 lovely ladies.

Mom Norton looked beautiful as always. Here she is with Stillman and Bridger before the service started. Her brother Jeff Chandler and son in law Robin Henrie are in the background. 

The Service was so nice. The speakers were all of his biological children. His adopted son Ken, chose not to speak. Debbie and Diane also sang a beautiful son. Have no idea how they managed to get through it, Tony and the girls did a fantastic job and Jess Kelley also spoke as did Bishop Adamson. After the service we went to Kohlerlawn Cemetery where Art was laid to rest. 

Tony with Deedra and Curtis. 

Melissa and Mom Norton. Melissa  got her Grandpa's belt
and wore it proudly!

Me and my eldest son Scott.  He was asked by Lynn to be one of the pallbearers and Scott was happy and proud to do so.

Art was proceeded in death by his son Daryl. Daryl and his brother Ken were adopted by Art and lynn when they were young boys. This is Daryl's family. All girls and their hubbies. This was taken at the luncheon after the Service at the cemetery. 

This is Lynn with Art's only living brother, Jack Norton
 and some of his family.

Colby, Stillman and Phillip. 3 of Tony's sons and Art's grandson's.

And Tony with Phillip and Stillman.

Scotlyn came with her Daddy (my son Scott) and I had to get her picture.  She was so cute and as pretty as the arrangements she stood by. The pretty one with the pink bow was sent by my mother and brother Rick and his wife Wendy. It was the only live arrangement and is still living in Lynn's home. It has since bloomed and was gorgeous!

Melissa and Nate and their kids as well as Nate's Aunt Becky.

GREAT MAN. He will be greatly missed but always
 LOVED BY ALL!~
