We Celebrate the 'Homecoming' of your beloved Mother, Grandmother. Chester sends his love and prayers from Houston Texas. We both recalled first meeting Brother & Sister Holtz at the Blackrun Church of God back in 1968. We have many wonderful memories of seeing Love in action watching the Holtz family. In September of 2018 we enjoyed visiting Lois and recalling the wreck of her 1968 blue Mustang in Perrytown because Lois's knee hit the eight track and the song "Lord I'm coming home" began playing. We are greatful that neither went "home" on that day and that so many lives have been touch by them for all these years. Holding all the family in our thoughts and prayers and thankful for Alice's perfect healing.

Our condolences to the family on the passing of Alice. 40+ years ago, I worked with Delbert down at the old Aerocore factory. Later working with Jim and Dale I must say that Alice must have been a wonderful person by association. Let the memories of good times help you through this time of sorrow.
