My Uncle Maurice Norwood and Mr. Hollingshead enjoyed their friendship and Beagle Dog Trials. Mr. Hollingshead obtained fiancing on our first house for me and Bennie Joe. No one was ever that generous but he did it. That speaks words. May he rest in peace from all that robs the spirit of joy. God's blessings and Peace be with anyone reading this rememberance.John 3:16
