Shayna Dee Horne

She was a loving wife, devoted mother and a wonderful daughter. She never met a stranger – a simple conversation and she would be remembered forever. Shayna was devoted to God; you could catch her speaking with God at odd moments. She had such a fun-loving and creative side, she would leave notes for you to find, make little surprises and make sure you knew how much you were loved. She was fiercely protective of the people she cared about especially her boys (talk about a mama bear)! She would fight for anyone whom she believed was being “taken advantage of.” She had a beautiful soul, a caring heart and an infectious smile that would let you know that everything was going to be OK. Her “love language” was gift giving as she showered the ones she loved constantly.

The world lost the most amazing woman I have ever known. I LOVE YOU BABE….kiss! kiss!
