Greater St Matthews will never be the same without Rev Holloman, he was a man on the rise, he gave you food for thought, a man aquainted with Jesus, on a mission for God. Sometimes we think God has taken our anchor, but God also picks the flower that has fully bloomed, and ready for the next life, I can imagine Jesus saying his son will not be a stepping stone for others, everyone has a job to do, and Rev Holloman has done his, and God saw fit to give him his reward. "Rest in Peace" Rev Holloman, we truly miss you.

No one can know the ways of eternity or understand when those we love leave this earth too soon, but before we are ready to say good-bye. You are in the thoughts of those who care about you and your family.
May God bless you and keep you in his care.

We were over taken by the passing of Rev. Holloman every thought of our friend came rushing in our thoughts he was a wonderful supporting man in whatever you do for Christ, We're so glad God allowed us to have been apart of his circle serving the High Priest. We're smiling just knowing that he made it in as we know God makes no mistakes may you rest in peace. Lejune and Fam. our Prayers are with you during and after this trying time in your life.

Von Was by far one of the most caring and thoughtful people I've ever known. He was kindhearted, would give his last and was a friend for life. I will always love him as a brother, he was there for me more times than I can count and his loss is one that is very painful. To June, Ms. Hollomon and the family, you all are in my thoughts and Prayers. May God Bless you and as I know he will... bring you through this dark time. He will truly be missed.
