For the generations to come......you should know who these two people are and how important they are to us. This is Tammie and Derek Norton. My sister Joan and her husband Phil adopted them when they were babies. They lived in Lodi California when they got Derek......and not long after they got Tam who was the cutest baby with tons of black hair. Their father Phil had been adopted with a little brother and had such a wonderful mother.......Jo and Phil ended up raising the kids in Enterprise, Utah. Tam loved horses......she married an older guy and had three wonderful sons. Derek got married and had a daughter , but divorced. I met his little girl once at Jo's. He loved her dearly and was there for her so in his last days she took him into her home to die...... she now a lawyer in Tennessee.........which was a couple of days ago.....with lung cancer. Many years later Jo and Phil had a baby of their own......Ryan......and that is another story. Derek is with Jo and Phil now with no more pain........ and we still have cute Tammie in the family. She and Leeland are no longer married and she seems very happy with her three sons and grandkids.
