    To the Bumguardner Family,

    I share your sorrow, in losing Horton. I know your hearts are aching now, and his passing has left a big hole in your family.

    He has always been a beacon of light, strength, and faith to me. Always sharing his love of family, and his love of the Lord. That is what I will always remember about him.

    We all know where he is now. How happy he must be, in the presence of his loving Father.

    My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. While I was not priviledged to meet Horton, it is obvious what a special man he was by the loving way I heard him talked about by the Randy Bumguarder family.

    To Kim Sloan, Darlene and family
    Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and your Daddy. Kim, I know who deeply you loved your father and people in a coma can still hear so I am sure your songs to him were a great comfort in his final hours. Just know that he is a better place and will be looking down on all of you. We are sad for your loss.
    Sue and Jan Wall

    I am truly sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of joining Randy and Melodie in a family holiday celebration and I was blessed to have met Horton. I know he will be missed by his loving family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  5. Teresa Toraason says:

    We are so sorry for the passing of someone so loved by his family and friends. Of the many times that we have been at family gatherings with Horton, what we will remember most is this about him: He loved the Lord-His steadfast faith in God’s Word.–and he lived his life as a true believer-and we ALL knew it! Something, someday, we would like to be remembered for! “Thanks Horton for the “light” you were!”

    Blessings-
    The Toraason Family
