Some of my most favorite days in my lifetime were at Abe and Norma's horse farm, and gazing at the 1,000's of family photos in the living room - Norma was our cousin. Abe was a character and such a hard worker! I am so happy I was able to talk to him just a few years ago. He had been on my mind. Sending so much love to his family and Prudence.

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" (Isaiah 61:1, 2) sustain your family during this challenging time. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

RIP Abe. I rode at ESS as a kid and Norma and Abe were a huge part of my childhood. He was one of the best of the best. Love you Abe
