My dear sister-friend Elva, and godchildren, Kathryn and John. Words just can't express the gratitude I have in my heart for sharing all your lives, and the big sweet man that was your husband and Dad. I told him many times how lucky I thought you all were to have each other, and how lucky I felt to share great times, laughter and love with all of you. He was so proud of all of you, and I feel he is going to be God's best guardian angel continuing to watch over you. I loved our visits, times eating out, then crashing on the sofa at 8:30 trying to watch a movie. I loved 'porching' watching your Dad rock back and forth laughing at some story we were sharing about our youth or yours. He loved my spaghetti, and I think of him every time I make a pot. We will all carry him with us throughout the rest of our lives, and he lives on in the beautiful legacy he built with you guys. Tomorrow we will celebrate him!
Ms. Ann, Dee Dee and Frannie..all of you are in my thoughts and prayers also. I feel honored that I could be with you, and your grace under the circumstances was amazing! He was very proud to be your son Ann. He always shared your pictures in the paper, and talked of how he respected and loved you. And same with you little sisters. Again, we will celebrate the beautiful man he was! Peace and love, Debbie Horne
