  • Lori,
    Sorry to see the passing of your father. I hope that all the good memories of him give you comfort during this time.
    I, Janie (Funk) Horst, was one of your high school friends. We spent many lunches together. On rare occasions I think of you and wonder where life’s journey may have taken you. I noticed the Sarver obit, so I scanned it to see who his children were, and I found you.
    Sorry, I am not on social media. ljhorst@frontiernet.net

    Num. 6:24-26 – the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.”’

    Blessings to you and your family during this time. – Janie (Funk) Horst
