My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Roy was a wonderful man.  A truely gentle man and caring person and talented carpenter.  I still cherish the wall unit in my living room that was made by Roy years ago.  Doris, our women’s Bible study led by you still remains one of the best Bible studies I have ever attended.
May God bless this wonderful family.

I am saddned to hear about the loss of Mr. Horst in today’s Tampa Tribune…….Mr. and Mrs. Horst (Mark) were the most wonderful neighbors that anyone could EVER ask for……I will always remember thier generosity and sharing the fruits of their labor and can I tell you they had the best garden on Lutie!!!!!  I can still remember the smell of sawdust coming from his workshop….and the toy trains going around the track…..and the roosters that woke us up at 5:00 o’clock AM every day…..lol…..and Lakewood Retreat and the Bruce, the cocker spaniel……and so many other wonderful childhood memories that you were all a part of it……I was one lucky kid growing up on Lutie!!!  our sympaty is with you all during this difficult time…..”Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” -Matthew 5:4

Dear Aunt Doris, Marlin, Lois, David, Joyce, Mark, spouses, and families,
I so wish I could be there to celebrate Uncle Roy’s life with you and share my deep sympathy with you all. It would be so wonderful to see you all again, to reminisce about the past and catch up on our lives. My mind reels back to so many of our younger days when we shared happy times together. Almost every summer we anticipated that yearly visit from our cousins from Valrico, Florida and we always had relatives to visit when we ventured to the south.
I am certain Uncle Roy is receiving his heavenly reward for a life well lived and we will all be reunited some glad day! May God’s peace and blessing rest on you and yours during this difficult time.
Love,
Brenda and Daniel Grimes, Goshen, Indiana

What a joy to know that he is in the arms of Jesus & being reunited with my mother, father & his parents! We are lifting you to the Lord to renew your strength as you walk these next few tiring days, yet knowing that the gathering of the whole family is a precious experience to be treasured! We celebrate Uncle Roy’s godly life with you as you lay his body to rest, knowing that we will all meet again on that wonderful heavenly shore!
