Hello Horne Kids,
Your father was so very kind to me, and always made me smile. I remember going to his company picnic in the brand new LTD with Darrell and that was so much fun. I have so many memories of being with your family.
I moved to Minnesota six yrs. ago, and would love to be able to stay in touch with Deanna, & Roger. My deepest sympathy to you all. Your Dad was a wonderful Man! Love & Condolences to Steve & Carol, Mike & Ellen, Stuart & Arlene, Deanna & Randy, and Roger. You are always in my heart.
Recently I ran across a wonderful picture of Darrell that I would love to share, he was about 11 or 12 – I can send it to you via email, please let me know your email address.
With Deepest Sympathy,

I can remember Oral from when he was a very young man, probably about 17 or 18 years old. He was dating Marie Hertenstein who lived in the other half of our “A” house at that time. I stayed friends with much of the Horne family over the years and Oral was a large part of my memories from that time.
Oral, may you rest with God my friend!
I remember Oral & my Cousin Marie well. Even though I cannot attend his Service, I shall pray for him and his family.
Best Wishes to All.
Donnie and my thoughts are with you and yours during these sad and trying times.
I’ll see you all at the services.God Bless you all.
