Such a beautiful woman inside and out. I grew up and seemed to always just be a few blocks from the Holladays. Please know Clorene will be missed and that our prayers are with you all.

I have been an "off and on" neighbor to Clorene and Bill and their lovely family in Floydada dating from after WWII when Dad moved us home, and we have so many wonderful memories of this great lady. When my wife and I moved back from Dallas, Bill and Clorine were the first to welcome us and our daughters back to West Mississippi across the street from their home. We feel blessed to have spent all our Floydada time visiting across the street, observing family gatherings, and watching Bill and Clorene interact on the front porch or in front of Bill's fireplace. Great people and friends!! We will always love Clorene. Fred III and Pat Zimmerman Dallas, TX and Floyd County, TX
