My heart and prayers go out to the entire Horn family. I believe there are angels "in training" that stay on earth till it is time to be called home, My Uncle Ronnie was one of those angels. Our hearts and spirits are saddened by his departure, and open hearts but I am positive he was welcomed with open arms to reunite with his family members previously passed. He was an inspiration and example, he consistently surprised us with his health, and positive outlook when the health wasn't doing so swift.
