Mr. Gabriel was my major Professor at Memphis State in the mid-1970’s, and my advisor. I always enjoyed his wit and humor, in class and in his office, where I visited often during my undergraduate work. He will be deeply missed. Prayers for the family, his extended family and friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel were always so kind to me as a child and teen. I was quite awkward and quirky, and they always had time to speak to me at MSU faculty gatherings. They listened to my rambles, and provided pertinent advice. As I grew to adulthood, they continued to provide loving support. I wish the Gabriel family peace in the happy memories you shared.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all the of the Gabriel family. We did not know Mr. Norris, but we know Brad and his boys, and Linda,they are a fine family and know they loved Mr. Norris. Cherish your memories of your dear father. God bless and keep you. Eddie and Carol Johnson
Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you all. Now Norris and Earline are together again, probably planning an Elderhostel trip with Bob and Dot (Daddy and Mother). Such good memories of all their trips together. May God send angels to comfort you in your time of sorrow. Blessings, Don and Beni and the boys, Trey and Cole.
