I knew Pat as a kind fun loving women who enjoyed entertaining her family and friends throughout her life. She was supportive of my family when we lost the head of our household. To this day I can still hear her laughter echoing whenever there is a tethering of friends and family. To Dennis and family, may God carry you through this painful time and may you feel the love and support of friends and family around you. There is another angel in heaven watching over us from above with her son Andre. Peace and love, Arlette & family P. S. Rosita is still in Mexico and she said to pass on her condolences. She will be in contact with you when she returns - Posted by: Arlette Gray (Friend) on: Apr 16, 2017

Our whole family remembers Pat, Dennis and their family as we all worshiped at The Maples Community Church. We remember her warm smile, her faithfulness every Sunday, her kindness to one and all, her amazing hospitality, her lovely laughter and her heart for her family and for God. She often quietly gave of herself to help others without any fanfare: she saw a need and jumped right in. We can still see her playing for the worship team and hear her voice asking if we are doing OK, She was an integral part of The Maples Church. Our sincerest condolences to Dennis, and her whole family. We am sure God has welcomed her into His kingdom saying,, " Well done, thou good and faithful servant." - Posted by: Frances Cheetham (Friend) on: Apr 16, 2017

Some of my favorite memories growing up took place at the Horsfords. After youth group we all would gather at their house. Many of us lovingly called Mrs. Horsford 'Auntie Pat' because she cared for us and always had a big hug to welcome all of us 'crazy teenagers' into her home. She will be very missed but we will see her again one day! Love you Auntie Pat! - Posted by: Angela Doerksen (Krystik) (Friend of daughter) on: Apr 16, 2017

Mrs. Horsford was a lovely and generous lady. My daughter was the recipient of the Andre Horsford Memorial Scholarship in 2012 and we had a couple of opportunities after that to interact. To the family, please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of a very special lady. - Posted by: Rosemarie & Marina Herscovitch (Acquaintance) on: Apr 15, 2017
