To the family of Hollis Fauntleroy:
We are deeply touched by his passing. He has a special place in our hearts. God sent him our way in 1976. Hollis rescued Shawn (age 4) and Monnie Massey (age 3) from our burning apartment. Thanks to him they are now 37 and 38 years old. We will never forget. God bless your family.
