Our prayers and love are with you all. We will truly miss Uncle Harry. He and Uncle Charles made us so proud to be members of the Holt family. They taught us the importance of family and knowing that family. We find comfort in knowing that the two of them, our Grandmother, and other members of the Holt family that have gone on to glory are rejoicing and loving on one another over there. :-) Keeping you all in prayer.
