Condolences

Precious family, may God bless and keep you all during this difficult time. I am the granddaughter of Robert Earl (Bud) Horton. I didn't know Mr. Glen personally, but I enjoyed watching your tribute video of him. He was a most handsome fellow that seemed to be very in touch with his family! As I look at his photo to the left of my screen, I can pick out certain characteristics that are carried by The Horton's! Time has a way of helping things to get easier to bare. And remember at some point down the road as you're healing that this is only a tiny separation from him. You will eventually get to enjoy your eternity with him! I pray that God sends His love and comfort and peace to you all and wraps each broken heart in His arms. God bless you all, Cindy LaPrade Dunkley (daughter of Tanya Horton).

To the Horton Family my deepest sympathy and condolences. Glen's dad, Frank, and my dad, Bud, were brothers. Glen's middle name came from my dad. Glen always carried the Horton name well. He will be missed by all of us who knew and loved him. In Loving Memory of Glen Earl Horton, Sr. Dorothea (Dot) Horton Perritt Grand Saline, Texas
