My condolences go out to Temp's brothers, Robert, Frank, George and her sister Jane. I have not seen Temp in 40 years, but my memory of her kind words and loving heart at Dr. Bells horse farm one summer will always be with me. Mary Lee McDonald

I send my love to the Holding family. I knew Tempie's Dad, Robert, and her Uncle Snow, and of course I still love Tempie's handsome Uncle Frank. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

Our families go way back. Tempie Ann was a good friend to me when I lived in Montreat in between colleges. She even helped me with my feeble attempts at poetry. Is difficult being unique. Blessings upon her and her family.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Tempie's passing. We were close friends in middle school and regretfully lost touch through the years. I have wonderful memories and have wondered through the years where she was... She was a dear friend who was beautiful inside and out. My deepest sympathy and prayers are extended to her family and friends. May God Bless...RIP Tempie
