HORNER -- Christopher Robert September 10, 1992 - November 24, 2004 Lonely is the home without you, Life to us is not the same And the world would be like heaven, If we could have you back again. A light from our household gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled. May our God of love and mercy Care for our loved one who is gone, And bless with consolation, Those left to carry on. The happy hours we once enjoyed, How very sweet their memory still. But death has left a vacant place, This world can never fill. How dearly we loved you, And prayed you might live, But Jesus just beckoned And we had to give. God give us the strength to bear it. And courage to fight the blow, What it meant to lose you, Only God alone will ever know. I Love You Mom, Dad and All Who Loved You

Not one of us wanted you to go, yet in spite of our wishes God had His way and took you from us. For the past five years our hearts have ached every day from missing you.

In the 81 years you were here with us you touched many lives throughout the world. You had eight children and there are six of us left to carry on sharing how wonderful you were. Thank you for our lives and all that you taught us about love, life and how to love our children, nieces, nephews and grand children without reservation. You taught us to forgive one another as we want them to forgive us; to share the love you gave us with all others we meet in our lives and above all, love God. We miss you every day, and every day we feel you watching over us. We have been so very blessed to have a gift like you for our Mother.
