My most heartfelt condolences.
Mrs Horton (or as Vi as she eventually insisted I call her) has been around our family for decades. She was a rock for my mom in her last years calling her to watch Jeopardy together over the phone and keeping her spirits up.
What a force she was!
I admired her a lot for her strength and confidence as she whisked about this world.
We often had a friendly chat, about life and kids and the importance of showing love. Which I’m sure she showed to you, her most precious loved ones, as she often talked about you to me with such pride.
I was heartbroken that I waited so long this time to chat with her.
May the happiest memories of her quickly replace the grief in your hearts.
Warmest condolences
(Barbie) Jo Rice

To all the Horton family - my deepest condolences on the passing of your wonderful Mom/ Grandmother. Vi was a force of nature. I always enjoyed my chats with her. I imagine Vi and Doris are up there playing a round of golf - perhaps with Auntie Anne Germann!
Big hugs to all,
Carol (Karai) Johnston

Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your Mother. I had the privilege of spending many early mornings with Vi as she drove Lesley and I to swim practice and meets around SE Ontario. She would always give advice and share her honest opinion about any situation we shared. To me she was someone who had a contagious energy and a zest for life. Our paths crossed on occasion in recent years at Westmount and I always loved hearing her infectious laugh fill the room, and I could not escape without a Horton hug. Thinking of you today and the days ahead. Keep sharing memories and laughs as you know she'll be watching over us! - Jennifer McPherson

Whenever I zip a certain bag shut, I think of Vi. I was at the cottage in Easter 2015 and the zipper snagged on a thread. My reaction was to pull the zipper harder, ensuring the thread would become further entangled. Vi insisted on taking the bag from me, and over 20 minutes, with a pair of tweezers, she freed the thread from the teeth of the zipper. Her focus, determination and sense of triumph in winning the fight with the thread live on in my memory. I hope you feel some comfort in knowing Vi lives on in stories like mine.

Vi had grit, there was very little she couldn’t do. She always made lemonade from lemons. Kind, determined, adaptable and effortlessly chic. You always knew where you stood with Vi because she would tell you. She had a charismatic personality and was one of a kind. She paved the way for a newer generation of female realtors and always shared words of wisdom freely. My condolences, Yogi
