Dear Monica, Jennifer, Lynette and Alexia This is to express our sympathy on the passing of your dear husband and father Horace. You can probably get solace from the belief that there is a "Power" with design and purpose for each and everyone of us. It is never easy to bid farewell to soneone who is so dear. In your sorrow may it help to know that there are many who care and share your grief. He was a wonderful person and good friend. - Posted by: Emanuel & Eulah Sylvester (Friend) on: May 19, 2005

A heart that has loved well never goes; it has planted love and will forever live. The celebration service was beautiful, and the large number of people that came out that beautiful Saturday morning is certainly a tribute to a life well lived and well shared with family and friends. Hold onto that notion as you learn to adapt to a new stage of your lives. The sorrow does not last forever, and you will once again look around you with joy in your hearts. The memories of your husband and father will give you peace. - Posted by: Joan Dougherty (Friend) on: May 19, 2005

Dear Moneka: As I write, I have Horace's picture in front of me, and I feel very sad. I remember how much Art enjoyed all those trips with Horace, and he was very fond of him. He would certainly have been very sorry that Horace and all of you went through such a difficult time the last several years. I regret that I wasn't able to go to the service as I would like to have been there. I will send a donation to Camp Jumoke.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your Daddy. I miss being with the family at this time, however, I am thinking of you all. It is quite a loss, however, I hope that you will be comforted by fond memories of the good times you have had with him, and that his sufferings are no more. Take care of yourself.

I will always remember Horace as a kind and gentle man, a special one of whom I know my son was so deeply fond. That his last years especially were those of struggle and sorrow to his family and those close to him, may you all find peace knowing he's now at rest. At 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, I will again dwell on those glorious summer days, the warmth of his smile, his laughter, his deep soft voice that I had such a difficult time hearing, and I'll remember him fondly though still in Tsawwassen. My love to all - Posted by: Ken & Penny (Family) on: May 17, 2005
