My Mother, Patricia L Sinopole, nee Wittmann was sad to hear of the passing of Norma Horn. Mom and Dad, Joseph T. Sinopole would meet both Norma and Jim Horn at a Travel Logue down at Washington Univ. for these monthly meetings about world travel destinations. Afterwards the four would all go out to dinner. They were good friends and met regularly for years.

With love,

To the entire Horn family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I have many wonderful memories of our families’ numerous outings and holiday visits over the years. Norma was always so warm, gracious, and fun – kind of an adopted aunt to our clan! I’m sorry I cannot be in St. Louis for her service, but I am thinking of you all and send my deepest condolences.
We were privileged to have known your parents. They were always so sweet. Even though we haven’t seen them much over the last few years, they always were so kind and fun. They never seemed to ago.
We will pray for you all and your Dad. Bless you!
Dear Jim and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of Norm. She was a sweet, kind, loving person towards me and, I always loved her food. Her ham and cheese sandwiches with her “special sauce”, and the Mother’s Day brunches were the best! Jim, you were the master pancake maker for the family.
Norm was a blessing to everyone’s life she touched. May you know our hearts and thoughts are with you as you travel through this journey of loss.
In Deepest Sympathy,
Karen and Curt Rogers
Dear Jim and Family,
Thank you for the witness to our Catholic Faith in 68 years of Holy Matrimony you and your beloved Norma gave to us. Norma was like a Second Mother to me and all of Greg’s friends from high school. Her kindness was beyond description. She always greeted me with a smile. And I never left her home without a homemade sweet treat. The many lunches and dinners we enjoyed and social visits at Laclede Groves will be forever cherished. My sister Marie and I offer our deepest sympathies to all of you. You were more than friends to us. You are family! I have asked my beloved mother Verda Marie to greet yours Greg in Heaven this week. We would not have had the friendship our families have shared through the years without Jim and Norma’s blessings. Jim, you remain in our hearts and prayers in a most special way. May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort you at this time as he welcomes Norma to her proper reward.
Love,
Nick & Marie Ganim
Greg, my sincere sympathy for your mother. I prayer for the repose of her soul.
Jeanne, I have fond memories of your mother and the love and support of your parents in general. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
It’s an honor to know the entire Horn Family and to be considered their friend. Mrs Horn is a wonderful and kind memory of my past… She and Mr. Horn’s life together is an example for Linda and I and we are celebrating her life and knowing that she is home.
Much love from SC.
Mark and Linda
