To the Horst family: I met Mrs. Horst at the Citizen's yard sale in Floyd. I had a booth set up and you bought some of my clothes that I had there. I am so sorry to hear for your loss. Heaven has gained a truly beautiful Angel! You all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you the strength, peace and comfort during this difficult time and in the days to come.
