Carla and family,

What a wonderful Mother you had. A smile on her face and always a thank you if you helped her in any way. She was usually the last one I spoke to as I left the building.

Keep the memories close, you will never forget them.

Our love,

Jim and Ann Holloman

Sugar,
The past few days, I have been thinking about all the funny times we shared. Carla, Crystal, Dad, and I were talking about the time Donny had you handcuffed all day long because the key fell down the vent and how you put Calamine lotion on each and every single chicken pock that was on his body. Carla reminded me of the time me and Crystal had you walk up the hill behind the pond and you couldn't get down. You were such a funny woman and always had a smile on your face. I know that you are in Heaven smiling down on each and every single one of us. I've been praying for the family and I know that we are all thankful that you don't have to suffer anymore. January 4th is my little girl's birthday and now it will be a date to celebrate two lives.

Carla and Dad, Ya'll did so much for Sugar and I know she appreciated it. She was so lucky to have you guys. I hope that with all the prayers, ya'll will find peace and comfort. Ya'll know she is in a much better place than us and one day, we will all see her again. Carla, I know Sugar was your best friend...Just stay strong. She is happy now and you'll meet up with her again one day. I'll always be here for you. Dad, you're Carla's backbone. Keep it up. I love you.

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember--you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you." --Winnie the Pooh

Donny, Crystal, and Michelle. I've been praying for ya'll daily. Let me know if ya'll need anything. Ya'll may not be blood but you guys will ALWAYS be my brother and sisters and I love ya'll to death. Just remember the good times...like the birds ;)

Sugar, Rest in Peace. Keep us safe. We will all see you again soon enough. I love you <3
