My sister, Patricia Henderson and myself were reared just a mile north of the Holloway family in the Granby community. We know how difficult this time must be but we also know our God is more than able to give us strength during the times of deepest sorry. God bless each of you.

A Great Man, A Wonderful friend that will never be forgotten.
RIP Mr.Ken

To the Holloway Family:
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved had been stilled.
A great big smile with a warm laugh,
A loving husband and father,
A caring and dedicated family man,
A understanding and trustworthy friend that so many could always depend on
through bad and good times.
A place is now vacant in our hearts, and we know it can not be refilled.
But God saw our friend getting weary, and did what he knew was best,
He came and stood beside Mr. Ken's bed and said with a soft sweet whisper
"Come, my son and take your rest"
Our prayers and sympathy are with you~~
Mrs. Melvin C. Tyler
Jackson, MS.
