Hello, Susan, Jeff,& Family.
Myra Horn was truly one of a kind. She blessed me in so many ways. Just her conversation alone was enough for me. I cannot express in enough words, how special she was. I won’t cry for her, because I know she is well taken care of, but for me, because our Angel has gained her wings.
Love,
Kierrya Isaac
Sorry for your loss. She was a neighbor at corley. Prayers
Hugs to my sister-cousin Susan, Jeff, Brian and Katy. I wish we can be with you to comfort you and pay tribute to my sweet, energetic, sensible, funny aunt. I have a life time of memories and here are a few... sweet tea, butterflies, super time meal prep. and her southern accent. I can still hear her calling, "JAY C". (J.C.) from his garden. Oh how I will miss my aunt Myra.
Dear Family and Friends:
May you treasure your memories. Prayers ongoing.
