Condolences

Condolence From: Ruth Rhodes
Condolence: I just found your mom's obituary notice, my dad had been wondering about her. It is a lovely tribute to her. I remember her fondly, she was very warm and cheerful. Christmas eve fun in your home, between the candlelight service and a drive up the hill to look at the lights, is another precious memory. I remember each of you in special ways as well, and write this with a prayer for God's blessings.

Condolence:
It is with great pleasure to be able to add my sentiments and thoughts on the transition of my second Mom, Mrs. Hornumg, to heaven, a sphere she was so anxious to encounter.


Over the years, she would readily converse with me about the tenets of our owner's manual, the Holy Bible. After she lost mobility, she would always ask me, " Jerry, why am I still here?" I would always answer with the same answer, God wants you here so you can continue to love and support your children and grandchildren. She would usually retort by saying " I guess your right, but I do want to go home." She is home now and can love from afar.



Monopoly, Parchesi and Clue on the farmhouse floor while the two moms prepared tacos in the kitchen is just one of the memories of the bond that my mother had with Mrs. Hornung. Being a Navy dependent in my youth, I was taught to say " Yes Sir..etc" at an early age and it always was Mrs. Hornung, whereas my mom used to always talk about "Butch" and everyone knew who she meant. My mom used to always talk about her in glowing terms, especially on how clean she kept her house.



Inseparable when I was growing up, these two mothers had our families spending Christmas, Thanksgiving and birthdays together which was a joy for everyone.



I remember Mrs. Hornung as being one of the most positive people that I ever met. She was a champion listener and would always have something useful and uplifting to say. She was a person who was content in who she was and radiated confidence and stability. Her many friends and loved ones always enjoyed being in her presence.



Her husband Clifford, the name she used that guaranteed his attention, loved her strength of character. I had many conversations with Mr.Hornung over the last few years of his life and he would invariably add some comment about how he met and courted her. Basically, he was awestruck when he met her and continued to be until the end.



I'm fairly confident that Mrs. Hornung is content and pleased to be in the presence of God. God took his time and his timing is always perfect. Although she expressed eagerness to leave, she knew she still had a mission on earth and accepted it fully. Knowing that she will be sorely missed is a gross understatement. I believe she wants us to walk on and display strengths that she taught everyone. Take Care, Jerry
