See Condolences

I am so sorry to hear that Hugo passed away. He was my neighbor for 43 years and one of the first residents of Cape Henry Shores. I will always remember how he took such an interest in the world around him, especially his love of gardening surrounded by his beautiful Long Creek and high sand dunes. May he rest in peace now. My heartfelt sympathy to Marilyn, Larry, Adrienne, Sandy and family during this sad time.

My thoughts are with all of you at this time. Ninty plus years, what a beautiful gift he was given. May that thought help you thru this hard time. Pat & David Doxey

This is my favorite poem. It has always helped me. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!

Sandy, We were sorry to read of your Dad's passing. Regardless of the preparations we make for it, we're never quite ready for the loss of a family member. But what a full life he led and he seemed to enjoy being around family and others! The memory is still strong of his wry grin and funny remarks when we met years ago. We wish you and your family comfort and happy memories throughout this time of loss. Sincerely,

I did not know Mr Horvath. I wish I had. Anyone in WWII who made the Anzio landing deserves a personal thank you.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
