I remember Nona having the most precious smile on her face every time I seen her she would spread love through that beautiful smile. And Phyllis you was right there for your mom, God will bless you for taking good care of her until he was ready to take her home to glory. The Byrd-Gibson family will continue to keep the Hollis family in our thoughts and prayers.
