Yesterday

I had the pleasure and honor of knowing Mr. Holloway for just a short time, but he certainly touched my heart. He reminded me so much of my dad. He was quiet, listened intently, but was mischievous - a perfect combination! Judy, I will keep you and all who knew and loved Mr. Holloway in my prayers. He will be sorely missed. Maryjo Hall RN
