I missed your happy birthday wishes (again) on here yesterday (it’s a good job our lifelong friend always remembers) . I love and miss you so much brother, keep that piece of my heart safe until I get there xxxxx

Happy Heavenly Birthday Norman ❤️
Forever young, forever in our hearts & minds xx

Well Norman, you would have loved yesterday. A Derby Day when the Mighty Mags beat the Mackems. I always think of you on these big occasions, because I know you loved a good match. Forever in my thoughts. All my memories of you are happy ones. Give my Dad a hug if you see him. Love always Michelle xx

Well, here we are again son. Yesterday was once again filled with our memories of you. 12 years though, I have no idea why or how time is whizzing by but I do know for sure that the day you left us will be forever etched in my memory. 2 years ago yesterday your darling niece went into labour with our Colby but you made her wait until the next day before she had him - we just knew you wouldn’t have anyone sharing that day to give us even more turmoil - he carries your name and you would’ve loved him and his crazy ways so much! I miss you just as much as I ever did and I always will. I love you so much - keep that piece of my heart safe until we are together again. Xxxx

Happy Heavenly Birthday Norman Norman you would have loved these past few months. The streets and shop windows were all black and white. We got to the League Cup Final at Wembley unfortunately we didn't bring the cup home but we left with our pride intact. We have a legend from Blyth playing too...Dan Burn..he likes a dance just like you. Until we meet again. You'd be so proud of your ever growing beautiful family. Always & Forever your friend Michelle xxx

Happy 57th birthday brother. Can you believe all these babies that now occupy my house on a regular basis, you would’ve had so much fun getting them into the mischief that was you and I just know you would’ve loved them with your everything. Party hard wherever you are, I love and miss you so much xxxxxxx

So many things have happened in 11 years, some I wish you were here to see and others I tell myself it’s a good job you aren’t! I miss you, my girls miss you and my grandchildren will never have the experience of having the most crazy fun loving uncle around them but they will know all about you because we talk of you, often. Look after that piece of my heart that you took with you my brother, I’ll piece it back together when I see you but until then I’ll treasure and be thankful for the time we had together. I love you

Another year without you Norman. You would be beaming with pride at your incredible family.
They continue to love, support and care for each other and the extended family. You now have a Great Nephew and Great Niece. Beautiful like their Mummy. I couldn't leave without letting you know Newcastle United are third in the Premiership....can you believe it Norman? I'm sure you can hear us cheering up there in heaven!
Loved always, never Forgotten.
Your friend
Michelle

Hi Son. Well yesterday came and went in the blink of an eye and I didn’t even get time to put my happy birthday wishes on here for you. I’m sure you know how the day went though, you probably even heard me talking about you like I always do! I had your new great nephew Colby for a sleepover again last night, he already knows lots of stories about you and we will raise him so that he knows all about his Uncle Norman. I love and miss you so much it still hurts. Till the next time xxxxxxx

Happy heavenly Birthday darling Norman. Ten years without your smiling face. I know you are talked about fondly by your lovely family and friends. You wouldn't believe what's happening at Newcastle United! We are winning matches, richest club in premiership...I know You will never be forgotten. Lots of love your friend Michelle xx ❤ xx

My darling brother, 10 bloody years man, this makes me so sad. 10 whole years of still loving you and remembering you but not being able to tell you or cuddle you and it still hurts like crazy. Our little addition to the family was due to be born today, we thought it was a sign but there's still no sign of him being born (you know that though, don't you). I'm sure you are still with us in your own way coz we can almost feel your presence. I love and miss you so much Norman, take care of that piece of my heart until I'm with you once again.xxxxxxxxxxxx

Well Norman you've been in my thoughts as always more so recently, what I would give just to speak to you ,I know you would just tell me to man up crazy times at the moment I went for my scan a week ago and Neil diamond was playing I was OK going in but in tears when I came out hello was the last song to play before the scan finished I was in bits looked up and said to myself I love you bro but I'm not ready yet hope they have a pool table up their get some practice in with my grandad im not supposed to drink but today I will be in memory of our legend love you bro xxx

Happy Birthday my beautiful cheeky forever smiling Brother. You have no idea what I would give to be having a pint in my back yard with you right now, sadly that's not meant to be. Our Billy text me this morning, he's hurting today too but said he's coming to have a few later on today. Today's drinks are on you kidda! Have a wonderful day wherever you are and don't forget to 'drop by' and let us know you are with us. I love you so much xxxxxxx

Another year without you in my life and I still miss you as much as I did 9 years ago. Thank you for the memories you were able to leave me with but I wish every day we had more time to make many more. I love you Norman and think about you every day xxxxxx

Dear Norman, as always thinking of you. As the years go by I’m more grateful than ever for every memory, every laugh & drink we shared. You left a legacy of love. I can’t ever pour gravy over a dinner without thinking of you In my heart & thoughts always...

Yet another Christmas without you and it sucks! I just know you're around us and keeping us all safe but it's just not the same as feeling your cuddles. There's not a day goes by that I don't think about you and I talk to your picture everyday. Merry Christmas my darling brother, I love and miss you more than you'll ever know. XXXX

Happy Birthday my darling Brother. I don’t know what you would’ve made of what’s going on here at the minute, total lockdown and unable to see our families. The only bonus is we will be together again when this nightmare is over! I love and miss you so much. Party hard wherever you are. All my love. Jackie XXXX

Happy Heavenly Birthday Norman You are loved & missed so much by so many. Always in my heart xx

Norman I can’t believe it’s been eight years today. You are missed every passing day. Your family keep your memory alive. ‘Those we love can never be more than a thought away...for as long as there’s a memory they live in our hearts to stay’ Till we meet again. All the love canny lad xxx

8 years ago today my life was turned upside down when you were so cruelly taken from us. There is not a day when I don't think about you and wish you were still here. I love you so much Norman, till we meet again. XXXX

Norman another year goes by, but your still fresh in my memories bro, I went out for our usual sunday session raised a glass or possibly a few more I can't remember, sessions have never been the same since the day you were taken away bro, miss you so much love ya x

Sorry Son, I know I'm a day late but I was hanging all day yesterday (thanks to you)!!! 7 bloody years ago man, where has that time gone? One think I do know is that I miss you more and more each day, it doesn't get any easier, we just learn to live with it a bit more. I Love you so much xxxxxx

Hi Son! It's that time of year again and I thought I'd better write this now coz you know how busy I will be between now and the big day. So much has happened this year, some good and some bad, we never get a whole good year do we? I know you've been right by my side every step of the way coz I wouldn't have gotten through it without you, I just wish you were here in body to help me along the way. You have no idea how I miss our chats and cuddles and waiting for you to storm through the door. Christmas Day will no doubt be spent talking about our memories of you (and drinking the gravy out the jug)! It'll be just like you're here with us. Merry Christmas Norman, I love and miss you so much it still hurts. Give Mam a kiss from me please and keep that part of me safe till I get there xxxxx

Dear Norman, another year without you. You would be so proud of your Jackie and the girls. Never a day goes by when you are not remembered. Your Amber is carrying on your tradition of drinking the gravy out of the jug. It made me smile as soon as I saw the photo. Well Norman Newcastle are back in the Premier league still as frustrating as ever but you would be loving the flags and the brief moments of brilliance. One day love we will get some silverware. Love & miss you always Norman. I treasure my Birthday message on the 4th from you. Gone to soon x Thankfully you have your mam Connie to reminisce with now xx Love you

6 years without you now Norman and I still miss you just as much as the day you went away. Yes, I have good days when I'm able to laugh at the memories and things you would get up to but there are still so many days when I just can't stop the tears from falling and I think you should still be here with me. I love you so much brother, look after that piece of me you have taken with you till I get there. XXXX

I went to school with Norman...right from Morpeth Road School...him, Christopher Elliot, Joanne Hickson and I (Carole Martin) played on the iron railings wall every playtime...I have remembered him all these years. I recently came across a school phot from those days...with the whole class. If his family would like a copy I would be happy to email it. RIP Norman...you were a lovely childhood friend and I'm sure you were a really good man.

Yep I know I'm a week late to say Happy Birthday but that's because we really didn't have time last weekend, we were too busy celebrating your birthday with all your posters and banner up - but you know that don't you? I'm sure you were there with us - I miss you every second of every minute of every day - Love you so much xxxxxx
