Heidi's grandfather passed this morning at 5:50am. Especially in Heidi's childhood, this man was the channel of peace and stability through many trials in her life. Heidi has carried this debt of gratitude for so many years and as his life ebbed away it was a gift to hold his hand, to be his peace and stability until the end.Today we remember the Creator who reached out his hand to touch our lives. And in the meeting place there lived a man named Herbert Horton.

Heidi,
Jacquie and Lynlee and I will be praying and thinking about you and your family during this time. I am incredibly grateful for the indirect blessing that your grandfather has had on my life and the lives of so many others who have been blessed by you and Brandon and your family. May God be with you as you mourn and may he bless you as you continue to live out your grandfather's legacy of love.

What a blessing you were to your grandfather in his final days. He loved you so much, as I know you loved and will miss him. We're praying you through this.
We miss you!

Dear Heidi,
You have been such a grand daughter, a friend and caregiver and watchwoman. The photo of your hands says it all. What a testimony. May each tear be blessed by God who loves you so. love, emily
Dear Heidi and Brandon,
We are grateful that you could hold your grandfather's hand in his last days here. Exchanging your hand with the Heavenly Father's hand is so comforting.
Now in His amazing grace the Father is holding both your hand and your grandfather's.
Wish we could hold your hands right now! Ron and Linda
Heidi and Brandon - You provided such joy and companionship and comfort to your grandfather - what peace you must feel knowing - that even in this hectic season - and with 3 little children of your own - you did this for him. I know that over the years to come you will derive such comfort from the love and care you gave him. God blessings on all of you! I am sure there are tears and sadness - as there should be - but I know there is also joy - knowing that his struggles are over and he died loved and surrounded by your family.
God bless...

Dear Heidi,
We all must go sometime but those who are left behind (if only for a short while) are never quite as prepared as we think we are. We grieve for you and at the same time are grateful to God for another graduation to heaven. May Gods peace be with you and Brandon.
Love from Roger and Carol
Thank you for all of your sweet comments! They bring such comfort and I feel surrounded by love all over this country. I have felt peace that passes all understanding and I attribute that to God's grace offered to me through your prayers. I am blessed beyond measure.
Much Love,
Heidi
Heidi, I too will be praying for you.
