Dear Linda and family I am so sorry to hear about Horace. Im sorry I could not make the funeral. My oldest Son was killed 1 year on the 14th of Nov. So I was having a hard time. My prayers are with you all. Just know that he will always be with you in your heart. He is no longer in pain he is free now.
