Dear Horne Family~
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing… I remember well her spotting me out and about and walking right up to me laughing with a great big smile saying “I know you… ” She would always ask “How’s your mom doing?” I will always remember her kindness to my mom and how much Mom enjoyed their visits.
When my own mom passed a years ago I received a card from a close friend that said, “Grief is the price we pay for love”. I’ve thought of that often.
With deepest sympathy,

I am grateful to have known and served with, and for a time served, this wonderful lady. She was strong, strong willed, sharp, and very capable. She taught good things, exemplified devotion and faithfulness, and was a lovely lady. I was blessed to have had Bro. and Sis. Horne (Eva and Derlin) as mentors while working on a planning committee for a church sponsored large youth conference back in 1977-1978. That was a long time ago! But I still remember it like yesterday. She is at peace now; her mind is sharp again. She is with loved ones and the Lord.
I apologize, family for having missed the viewing and funeral. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time of transition, and adjustment.
Sincerely,
Byron Burrup
I’m sooo sorry for your loss. Eva worked with my husband, Dick Sloan and I have fond memories of that time together. I’m sure Heavenly Father has her in His care, maybe she and my hubby will find each other and reminice old times. 🙂 My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you navigate this time together.
Love and best wishes,
Meg Sloan
Evah’s family: So sorry to hear of her passing ~ Sadly, I had not had any contact with Evah for years, especially since Derlin passed. We served in many Church positions, either together or in “collateral” positions, and I was always impressed with her talents in whatever calling she had in The Church. She was a great Young Women’s leader for my daughters. I have been blessed to have known her, Derlin, Larry and Shellie. Sorry I didn’t get to know John. May the Lord bless you all.
I had lost track of Evah while we were on a mission, so haven’t seen her in years. She’s a cousin (I’m also a descendant of John Harvey) but we actually met when she came to a piano recital for some of her grandsons in my home. Later we were delighted to discover we were relatives. She’s a remarkable woman— beautiful and compassionate. I’m sorry for the family’s loss but grateful for grand reunions, especially with her sweet hubby. Love you so, Evah!
