Holt was Diddy's best friend.

Sissy, Morgan, and I will NEVER forget his numerous acts of kindness, nor his odd sense of humor.

Upon his welcome Home, I wonder if Jesus said, "Welcome Home, son. Now you don't have a choice, but to behave." :))) Knowing Holt, however he replied, it would have made Jesus smile.

Sending much love and prayers.

His,
