Obituaries

I'm sorry that I am not here today, but to my second family I leave my deepest condolences. Netra is like my sister so I thought of Norman as my second dad. He always my made me laugh & treated me just like his daughter. I was hurt deeply when I got the news , but God didn't allow me to hurt too long because I know he's in a better place. I will always remember his jokes & all the laughter he bought into my life. Everyone loved to be around Norman just because be was a humorous , fun, loving person. I never thought this time would come and it saddens me, but God needed him more then we did. I know he's looking down on us smiling as we continue our lives. No more worries, no more pain because he's in a wonderful place now. To Mrs. Bertha continue to stay strong do not let this be a sad time, your husbands spirit is always with you! Norman was good man, a great father, & loving husband. He will truly & forever be missed! Love you all McLean family!!!!

Uncle its been almost 43yrs since grand daddy died and since him there were no deaths in this family. Until that nasty illness took you from us. We were close when I was much younger and thru the years our bond grew further apart. Due to nonsense that should had nothing to do with the kids.however unc I got to talk to you in your last days here on earth and I will forever cherish those memories. I know I didn't say it in awhile but I got to tell you that "I love you" before God took your soul...you crossed over like a warrior and it spoke in volumes you weren't scared to me your creator.you're now with you daddy and I pray its heaven.your now with the McLean,Dixons,and the Spains that we were unfortunate to meet. Youre now with your wife family that you got to meet and are now gone. I pray that they all embrace you and love you. Ask God to look over us cause we need his guidance,his mercy,his protection,his love,his help. We need him badly to fix this family...tell your father even though I never meant him I wrote a song to him explaining the condition of our family and who I am. Tell himI love him and that I started off bad but I made a completeturn around and I'm trying to carry his legacy on. I now reunited with your kids, trina is stubborn and bossy with her attitude but she's a sweetheart and I love my little cousin for life and the only thing that will break our bond is God. Zanetra, has been nothing but a cool cousin to me and embraced me with open arms.Louis embraced me with open arms and damn unc he's the split image of you...Norman jr, we just reunited and he to show love. Your grand kids are wonderful kids. Zakaiya is so adorable.zamaya she is something to advance.zayvion a smart young Blackman he will be with your guidance. And destiny I love my little cousin. She treats me like she knew me for yrs makes me smile. I never got to meet jayshawn,but I'm sure I will. And finally as I speak on your wife,your lady bug, she has done nothing but embrace me with open arms,treated me like she always have. She welcomed me in yall house and not once made me feel uncomfortable.I watch her take care of you til your last days and God knows watching you return back to god slowly was a form of torture for her. Ask God to walk with her and keep her strong til yall are reunited again. She..ask God to watch over all of us. All your kids,grand kids,nieces,nephews,in-laws,God kids,and close friends who mourn you till we join you. Uncle Norman I love you and will forever miss you...you are missed and love by many,rest in God's kingdom!!!

Thank you for showing by example how a husband should love a wife unconditionally. Thank you for always encouraging me to work hard and inspiring me by always saying you were proud of me. Thank you for making sure that me and aunt Bertha got home safely after working at Yankee stadium each day and every year, waiting with a smile and listening to all of our work adventures. You will always be and my heart Love foreverElizabeth Green
