Dear Treon Family,
I am not sure whether you will remember me, but I used to be your babysitter many years ago. Some of my fondest memories are of the times I spent with you in your home.
Norman was a wonderful person, talented and loving, and I know that you all have suffered a great loss.
It seems impossible to speak of any consolation in the face of such a bitter loss, but know that you all are in my prayers. God Bless.
Karen

Dear Brant and family I was sorry to hear of the passing of your father Norman Treon. He was my 1st employer ever to work for. He was a interesting person and had a sense of duty in his job. I know why now. I was surprised to hear he was in WWII never knew that!
But I wanted to say god bless you Brant and your mother and other siblings during this emotional loss of your father. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
