I'm so sorry that you are all dealing with this so soon after Matthew's journey to heaven. I would like to be at the funeral on Sunday, but will be in Philadelphia for work. It seems like I've know you all most ofmy life, and I guess I have. It's been at least 30 years. I pray that God gives you comfort during this time. Samantha Looper Posey

With Heartfelt Sympathy to the Horne Family, May you find comfort in God's word and in the knowledge that others sympathize with you in your loss. Since this may be one of the hardest things we will ever have to cope with, the bible offers hope. Pointing to a glorious time, Isaiah 25:8 says, "God will actually swallow up death forever and Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.." Please read John 5:28,29. It has bought comfort to many bereaved persons and myself. I pray it does the same for you.
