Rest in Peace Tom Hollingsworth. Love, Charlotte Ferren and Heidi-Marie Ferren

What a wonderful man Chaplain Tom was!!! He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him!!! His family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Having worked as the switchboard operator at Mt. Olivet, I was fortunate to have Chaplain Tom enter my life and heart. He was always so happy and full of life. It uplifted your spirits to visit with him. My God bless the family he leaves behind.

My Dearest Poppie,


This week has been so long for all of us you have left behind. We know that you are in Heaven with the best of them and that we will in time join you and God to our eternal home.

Although we returned to Arkansas a couple of years later and he moved to...

Pete and Cookie,

Dear Family of Tom Hollingsworth,

I only knew Mr. Hollingsworth because we were patrons of Dale's Donut Shop. For two years, I was the leader of a monthly workshop for my firm. On the last Wednesday of every month during that period, I would stop at Dale's around 6:15am and buy 1 1/2 doz donuts to take to my charges.
