To the wonderful Holmes's family: I was saddened to learn that Aunt Rosalind was sick and succumbed to her illness. I am so glad that my mother, Lonnie (Lewis) Heath, and my daughter, Samantha Medina and I were able to visit her several years back. My Mama tried reaching out to her and had no success, so she had me investigate. I have wonderful memories of times spent in Memphis with the family, especially a family reunion when I was growing up with all of the Holmes children and Aunt Rosalind and Uncle Jack along with our cousins. I will definitely miss her warmth and loving acceptance.

Sincerely, Jamie (Lewis) Medina, formerly of Baton Rouge Louisiana and granddaughter of Richard Erin Lewis and daughter of James Richard Lewis.
