Speakers on for Music Avonel Horne October 25, 1935 - June 21, 2007 Mother, Grandmother, Teacher and Friend She will be missed by her Golden Girl friends and colleagues   In Loving Memory of Avonel Horne 1935 - 2007 Afterglow I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one, I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is gone. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times, and laughing times, and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun, Of happy memories that I leave when life is done. -- This was on Avonel's funeral card     Dear Golden Girls We were all saddened to learn of Avonel's death from cancer on Thursday, June 21, 2007.  However, we can take solace in the fact that she is in a better place.  We shall all miss her cheerful and upbeat personality which was her trademark for so many years. There is very little on the funeral home web site -- no obituary and no guest book to sign with condolences that I can find.  http://www.edomillerandsons.com/  She will be buried in the Brunswick Memorial Park Cemetery next to her mother.
