Dear Mary and Family,
Horace is gone now, but he is still very near, death can never separate you. Each time you feel a gentle breeze, it is Horace’s hand caressing your face.
Each time the wind blows, it carries his voice whispering your name.
When the wind blows your hair ever so slightly, think of it as Horace pushing a few strays of hair back in place. When you feel a few raindrops fall on your face, it is Horace placing soft kisses. At night look up in the sky and see the stars shining so brightly. Horace is one of those stars and winking at you and smiling with delight. For never forget, you were the apple of Horace’s eye.
But for the moment, you must part for a while but sure to meet again at Heaven’s Gate in the future.
Eugene and I met Horace and Mary over 30 years ago and honoured to call this wonderful couple our friends. We were a pair of snowbirds that spent our winters in Florida, we had many opportunities to visit ar their home, our place, the Flea Market and many social events. Eugene and Horace would spend hours on the phone talking about their favourite subject - NASCAR.. But Horace would have many other interesting comments. We enjoyed his phone visits.
Horace was such a friendly man with a great ready smile, happy laughter, a good listening ear and great conversations.He was a gem of a gentleman and will be missed more than we can imagine.
Our prayers and thoughts will be with Mary and her family at this sad time.
We wish Mary good health and save days.
Eugene and I will never forget this beautiful couple - Horace and Mary Slater.
Rest in Peace Dear Friend.
Love, Eugene,& Dale Balcom
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
