I am beyond words, but I knew Ms. Videll (as I called her) for many years and when our paths crossed we would always spend sometime talking about things. She gave good advice when I ran for office in the Sons of The American Legion and that advice was very helpful to me. So I will miss her very much.

To Ms. Videll's family, please accept the condolences of my family, may God comfort you and lift you up.

The pain of your lost is sharp and deep, but overtime your pain will dull. As the pain goes away your memories never do. Your memories of happiness and love will be with you forever. Don't let her lose hold you back. But, honor her memory by moving forward. Through the love and care from close friends and family. You will always have people in your life who are watching over you and are there for you. It's a tradegy that she's gone now. But, she will always be in our heart now and forever. She was a great grandmother and will never be forgotten. My love, care, and heart goes out to you and everyone who's been affected by her passing. But, remember, it does get better.

Words can not explain how wonderful this woman is. She is and always will be a blessing to this world. Even though my I have only been in this family for a few years (Brice's step-daughter) she has treated me like she was there the day I was born. I will miss you more than anything Grandma Holley. I love you.

To the Holley Family:

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about the passing of our dear friend, Videll. She was a very dedicated member of the American Legion Auxiliary and our Mulberry Unit 72 will cherish the many memories we shared over the years serving the Auxiliary together with her Unit 4. She will be sadly missed. She was a wonderful lady and one to be very proud of.

With our deepest sympathy,

American Legion Auxiliary
Mulberry Unit 72
Paula Stone, Unit Chaplain and friend

Kenny, we are going to miss your mother so very much. And thanks so much for calling and leaving us a message to let us know. We tried calling but got cut off over and again (must be an overseas dialing thing with your voicemail). But we will be remembering you and all of Aunt Videll's very loved grandchildren today.
