The Horton Family,
I remember Mr. Horton when he was my family's neighbor on Bryant Street, NE. I was a teenager but I remember how nice he was. Always with a smile and a kind word. May the many precious memories you have of your time with your loved one sustain you at this time and forever more.

Thank you GOD for allowing me the opportunity of being loved by my Dad! He was intelligent, kind, and loved by many. I feel so blessed knowing how much he loved Imani and me. Also, I feel honored about how proud he was of my accomplishments -- extremely grateful he told me so. I'll miss your kisses on my forehead… I love you Daddy now you may rest in peace!

Oh Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To my Brothers and Sisters,

Love unbreaks the shatteded glass...Psalms 127 3-5 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

R>E>M>E>M>B>E>R... the love he had for us and watch the shadows pass.

There are no mistakes in GOD's love, plan, and His word. Raymond Henry Horton will always be our Daddy and we thank God for the time we shared together.
Love
Debra Ann Horton-Smith

John 14:27
King James Version (KJV)

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

and given us everlasting comfort and hope... comfort your hearts with all
comfort, and help you in every good thing you say and do.
