Mrs Horne was a blessing to me as a young boy fresh out of Scotland, I attended Viscount in grade 4 and she took an interest in me and asked me to be a library monitor, from there she became a personal friend and gave my brother and I a job to cut her grass weekly. We really appreciated her and her kindness.Today I am saddened to hear of her passing. Heaven gained a special angel. REST IN PEACE my dear Mrs Horne.

When I measure my life in the dogs I have loved, I count myself blessed indeed
Irene was a longtime colleague and friend.
She was as constant as the North Star in many of our lives as she spent her entire teaching career at Viscount Elementary School and almost her entire adult life at her home on Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlam.
In both places, she was treasured as a person of great humanity and caring.
I am deeply saddened at her passing and so grateful to have had her in my life.

Irene was my hero. She taught me to love reading. She made me less afraid to face the world.
She started as my teacher and became my friend.

The world of pets has lost a true champion. A kind, considerate human who's greatest power was to just listen. Always in my heart.
