Edna R. Holshouser

Mom,

It has been 2 weeks now. And, it seems the pain is growing bigger and bigger in my heart.

I would not ask you back here for anything. But, having to stay behind isn't an easy task.

I find myself wanting to talk with you, hear your voice and hold your hand, again.

What are you doing? Do you remember life here? Does Jesus let you remember me? Do you talk with Daddy about our family or about my future? Oh how I wish I had answers to these...

Dear Cathy,
So sorry for your loss.Your parents were very special folks.
I remember the last meal I made for you all in Bethlehem.That evening slipped by so quickly but not the memories.
I can see your mother singing the Heavenly songs with her accordian up in Heaven.Your dad,my parents along with many others are enthrolled with her singing.
Keep the faith,God is faithful.We too will someday meet them all again.
Your in my prayers,with Love.

Cathy,Your mom & dad were very special people. I will always remember them as being truly sent from God to Cherryville church. They both had a profound effect on everyone they met. I always loved to hear you & your mom sing. She was such a blessing & I count myself privileged for having known her. I know she's rejoicing in heaven with your dad. You're in my thoughts & prayers with much love.

Cathy,

You probably don't remember me. I lived next door to you and your parents in the dorm at Allentown when you were a little girl. You played with your Chatty Cathy doll in the hallway outside my apartment. I've never forgotten you.

Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your mother.

Blessings and peace.

Cathy,
You don't know me but I attended BWC when Rev. Holshouser and Edna served there. She was everything her obituary described and more. Rev. Tom and Edna are two people God put in my life at that time to bring me closer to Him. When I visit the grave of my son I always walk down to Rev. Tom's grave and thank God that He put your mom and dad in front of me.
God bless you and yours,
Stephen Bailey

Cathy,
I wish I could have met your mother when she was well. If she was anything like you, she was a wonderful person. From the stories I've heard, she would do anything for anyone. You know Jeff and I are thinking of you in your time of need, and we are always here for you. Love you.

Cathy,

I am sure your Mother is singing Praises and rejoicing together with our precious daughter Stacia and my relatives including my dear Mother who are there safely Home in Heaven's Glory land! Oh what a sound it must be to hear all the voices praising God and Glorifying His Magnificence and His Preparations for Eternity with Him there!

We remember you dear Mother fondly and with deep respect!

With our love and prayers, Paul and Sally (Miller) Sheets

We knew Edna many years ago. The Obit says it so well...she loved children, all people, and she loved to take time to reach out to those that seemed less noticed. We love, respect and admire all our memories of this wonderful lady. She was truly a soldier of the Cross. I just know she is running and shouting through the streets of heaven. I will look for her there when I get 'home'. Our deepest sympathy and love to Cathy, and the rest of the family members. Love and hugs,
Abe and...

Cathy, I have such fond memories of your Mom and also Dad. He married us the first time in the parsonage on Anthony Street in Burlington. Her music was always such a blessing and I loved to hear her play the accordion. They were both good Christians and you have a lot to be proud of.
