Bill, Joyce and Janice….I’m so sorry to hear that Aunt Doris passed away. I pray that the Lord will make the pain bearable. As the Holt family knows so well, losing a parent leaves an enormous void that no one can fill….the Lord is always there in our darkest hours. Love and Blessings to all of you.

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of this wonderful mother, sister, and friend. Doris was a inspiration to everyone she met.
We were truly blessed to have known her and Cloyd.
Our prayer is the Lord will confort you, as only he can do.

Janice,
I just found out about your Mother. I am so very sorry. I don’t get the newspaper and didn’t have any idea. Samantha just called and told me. She doesn’t get the paper either. We were just talking Tuesday about your Mom. If we had known, we would have been there for you. I know how much I appreciated you when Mom passed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

hi Janice
I did not know about your Mom’s passing until Lisa shared her email with me about it today. We know she is smiling down on you and her loved ones right now with her wings and halo.
Our heart aches but we know our loved ones are happy and at peace and await us on the other side.
You were a wonderful daughter to her.We will keep you and the family in our prayers.
Bless you all.
