For my friend Doc Holliday

We met Doc at a bluegrass festival in Beanbloosom, IN, around 25 years ago. We became good friends and enjoyed our time together. He will always be remembered as family.
Doc, we love you and will miss you.

Doc you were a very special friend. The times we spent together at EIU playing music and hanging out will always be precious memories for me. We met when we were quite young but continued our friendship throughout our lives. The regular phone conversations we had and the occasional visits after I moved to the West Coast were an important part of my life.

So long my friend! You will be missed! Love ya!

Today started out to be a good day but changed rapidly middle of this morning. I received a phone call from Kerry Jones asking if I had seen the post about Doc. Or rather Doc's passing. Ten minutes later Gregg Albritton called to tell me he had received a copy of Doc's obituary from his brother Max. It was very sad news for me.

Love you Doc. You will be missed by many.

Doc and I were sweethearts in high school and college. We kept in touch over the years. I was able to visit him in the hospital October 16-18, 2019. I'm so sad to see him go, but I know he is in heaven and is happy and healthy. I will miss him, but I am so thankful I was able to see him one last time.
