Joan V. Horner

Thank you, Joan, for all of your encouraging words and uplifting devotionals for all of us for the 22 years I was with Premier Designs. You made such an impression on so many people and will forever be remembered in our hearts. Premier Designs wasn't just an amazing company, they were family to us!

Having asked God to guide us in our retirement, He led us to meet Joan Horner. We became family. She was one of the most thoughtful and loving Christians we have known in 72 years of ministry. We miss her.

I am not sure I have ever had the pleasure of knowing another precious lady such as was Joan Horner. She was always encouraging and uplifting. When sickness drove me out of Premier Designs after 14 years, I was sad and disappointed. I kept in touch through Phyllis and Jon Moore. I ordered a calander every year and Phyllis sent me catalogs when a new one would come out. I missed it so much and my Premier family also. Joan wanted me to be a part of the Premier family and she told me I could...

How can a heart be so heavy and so joyful at the same time? Joan, you are an amazing woman and leave behind a legacy that cannot be matched. This is not a good bye but "until we meet again in heaven". May the entire Horner family be uplifted with prayers from the thousands of people who were, and continue to be, touched by their love and selfless acts. On this earth, we will miss you dearly, but in Heaven, Jesus is rejoicing - and so is Joan! She is dancing in the clouds!!

I cry with you because the heartache of loss hurts, but am so, so glad you also have the hope and comfort of knowing she is in the happiest place that surpasses all human understanding. Even though I know it hurts Andy immensely I am sure, as Joans protector, Andy can also be thankful that she died first and so protected her to the very end. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Horner family. Joan was an amazing woman who will live on in our hearts forever. Thank you for sharing the celebration of her life with all of us. The ceremony was truly touching and I feel so blessed to be a part of the Premier Family. Joan's legacy will live on through the lives of all those she has touched. I will do my best to keep it personal and to "count it all joy" in her memory.

Joan.
I am so sorry that I never did and never will have an opportunity to meet you.
And though I am Completely new to this business...I have heard Plenty of other women speak about you; holding you up high with the most respect!
To her Family still roaming this earth: I have lost a huge amount of my supporting family memebers in the last few years! I completely understand the devistating loss you are feeling right now (Andy, you especially). But find comfort in the...

I was lucky enough to photograph her and her husband along with the rest of the family a couple years back. She was a wonderful woman. You can tell the caliber of a person by looking at their family and the people they touched.
