The Father had an empty place in his Eternal Garden. God always picks his prettiest and best flowers first to beautify His Eternal Garden. Narda, one of those pretty and best flowers now finds comfort and peace in the Eternal Garden. Narda, if you will, say hello to Dad, whom you took such good care of while he was at Crestview. He and my sister Becky are there, in The Eternal Garden also. Peace to you and your family.

My dear friends, I am so sorry for your loss. I too, have lost a sister. I know your hearts feel empty but find solace in knowing that she is with her mother. She was a very brave and courageous woman. Your momma always knew her goals in life and she was tenacious in achieving them. I knew it was hard for her to make the move to Texas but she did because she knew it was the best for her family. Once again, proving how strong and firm she was about her life. I know she gave more than 100% in this fight. I will remember her forever as a friend and sister to me. I will always remember her nickname for me. She never called me Rose, only Marquez. I can hear her voice now. I cannot be with you at this time but my heart is filled with tears and good memories of her. Bill, and kids, God Bless you.

Billie/the Holland family, A single candle can pass its light to thousands more filling the dark with light, Your mom was very much the same. Not only did she fill your lives with her light but she carried her light into the dark with every life she touched. So when you see a candle burning know that even though she is in heaven now her light still shines through you and everyone she touched here on this earth.
