So sorry about Ted. This is Margie Horn's oldest daughter,
Pat. I remember as a little girl
Ted and Edna. Met them when I was a child growing up at Jackson
Garden Apartments. Thought
a lot of both of them. Going to miss Ted and all our memories
of times shared. He was so
proud of all his children. My heart goes out to all of you.
Sincerely,
Pat Martin (Horn)
