My thoughts and prayers go to the Holden Family. You have been wonderful next door neighbors the last twelve years and I have always been amazed and inspired by your dedication to your colleagues and extended family at your church and the Salvation Army Senior Center. Sylvia will be dearly missed by many people. I have been fortunate to call Sylvia a friend, neighbor, colleague and partner through the years. If there will ever be a person to realign errant angels and sweep heaven into...
