Shipmates
Below I have posted an email from Jackie Norris. It appears that after a long fight Mel Norris will succumb to pancreatic cancer. Please keep the family and Mel in your thoughts and prayers.

Good Evening Family & Friends,
It is with a very heavy heart that I write to y'all tonight. I brought Mel home from the hospital in Birmingham yesterday afternoon. The doctor there had done all he could do. The hospice nurse came after we got home and again today. She will be coming twice a week up until the end. Yes, the end is near. I am having a very hard time accepting that fact. I asked the doctor all kinds of questions, but he always had the same answer. So we are home surrounded with love from our children, family, and friends. There's not much more I can say at this time. I will try to keep people updated as best as I can. PLEASE continue to pray for us as I have to let him go. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and continued support. Take care.
Hugs,
Jackie
