Guest Book
William Duane Adleman entered into the world sleeping at 9:23 am on February 22, 2026. He carries the names of both his great-great-grandfathers, William Holland and Paul Duane Adleman. Though our time together was far too brief, you have been deeply loved from the very beginning. For months we dreamed of your smile, your laugh, and the life we would share. In your quiet arrival, you changed us forever. Though we will not watch you grow, you have grown our hearts in ways we never knew possible. You were carried for a moment, but are loved for a lifetime.
William is cherished by his loving parents, Emalee Holland and Levi Adleman; grandparents, Beth Holland (Matt Pion), Ryan (Samantha) Holland, Eric and Danielle Adleman; great-grandparents, Sharon Holzschu, Don (Michelle) Holzschu, Scott and Angela Holland, Jim and Kathy Pion, Pat and Dar Gearhart, Ron and Barb Adleman; aunt and uncles Molly, Ally, Easton, Hayden, Ty (Kristin), Brooke (Daniel), Logan, and Whitney. As well as many close friends and family members.
