To Lessie and the Family of Mr. James B. Horton We were saddened to hear of the passing of your Husband, Mr. James B. Horton. Please remember that God is too wise to make a mistake and too Holy to do anything wrong. Prayer is the key, but it takes Faith to unlock the door. Brother Horton has been a pillow in the Chatham County Community and surrounding areas for many years, and showed examples of what you do speaks so loud that people cannot hear what you are saying. He has always been willing to take the lead when it came to helping others in need. We thank God for sending Brother Horton our way because he showed us how to show love and respect for all the people that you help along the way. Chatham County and surrounding areas will never be the same since he passed our way. He is really going to be missed. We say to the Family, that we love you and we will continue to pray that God will give you the strength to bare your great loss for the days, months, and years to come. This is with much Love, Brother Albert and Sister Dorothy Huey
