Anderson)&nbsp;where John and Norma&#8217;s children, Linda and Johnny, spent their summers with cousins Sandy and Rex Clements.&nbsp; John and Norma purchased a cabin from Norma&#8217;s Uncle Bud Clements (Vernon) and in 1970 they began to add on to it.&nbsp; Later, they sold that home and moved down the hill to Lot #2 where they spent many happy summers entertaining and enjoying the lake.&nbsp; They sold that property to Rex and Donna Clements in 2004 and moved to Florida year-round.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Norma died on November 24, 2005 in Naples, Florida.&nbsp;&nbsp;
