Hey Pops!!! It's your favorite daughter-n-law!!! It's so hard to believe your gone..The house is so empty without you there! Everyday when Derek and I go over there I think your in the room going to sleep telling Tonaya to get you up in 15 mins but when I go in the room your not there and it SUCKS really bad! Or going into the house and not seeing you in the kitchen straightening it or sitting at the table smoking...But we know your still around because you have been playing your tricks on us like you always did! Thank you for taking care of me for the 2yrs Derek was in Iraq! You and Tonaya raised one HELL of a son!!! He is the BEST husband in the world!!! I'm so proud of him!!! I tell him everyday how proud you were of him and how you constantly talked about him! Ya'll raised all of your kids so good! You don't have to worry about Tonaya and the kids because Derek will make sure they are taken care of no matter what!!! I just want you to know that YOUR THE BEST FATHER N LAW EVER!!! I will take care of Derek just like yall asked me to the day I married him! I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU SO MUCH POPS!!! Please watch over us and I will see you one day when its my time!
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
YOUR FAV DAUGHTER-N-LAW,

In Loving Memory of one of my oldest and dearest friends. You will be missed very much. This earth will never be the same without you. I'll always remember dancing the night away with you and Tonaya, and slow dancing to "I Love the Way You Love Me" by John Michael Montgomery. You were a wonderful friend to me and Samuel, and an extended Father figure to Samuel. I thank God for putting you on this earth! I feel very blessed to have known such a wonderful man. Today, although a sad day putting you to rest, I know you would have been so very proud of Tonaya and the kids. You raised them up right. You have such a brave, strong & loving family! You ALL are loved so very much by so many people. If any of you need us, you know we will be there. Lots of hugs to you my friend.
Forever & Always,
Barbara

True friends come into your life and never really leave. Although I may never see Tim again in this lifetime, I will always feel blessed to have known him. Tim and Tonaya had the kind of marriage most couples dream of having and I know their children and friends are blessed to have witnessed such a wonderful marriage and loving parents. Tim, you will be missed. Tonaya, may your friends and family provide the support you need in this difficult time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Hey there daddy. I really dont know what to say, it is so hard to speak my mind when I am hurting so bad. I guess I get that from you. I mean you always told me I was just like you. Well I miss you so much and I wish you were still here with me. You are the best father a girl could ever want. I know I made choices that you were not always okay with, but in the end you were always there for me and were there to listen to me. It is going to be so hard without you here anymore. I dont have anyone to argue with me and someone I can be a smart butt to and not get upset about it. I will never forget anything you have taught me and even told me. I know you will always be there looking down on me and protecting me from anything. You dont have to worry about anything your baby girl is going to be taken care of. Dj is not going anywhere he is stuck with me forever. I know things didnt work out the first time and now you will not be here to walk me down the isle, but you will be there spirtually. I love you so much daddy and I will always be thinking about you. When the time is right I will be able to be with you again. I MISS YOU DADDY and I LOVE YOU WILL ALL MY HEART
Love your baby girl,
Jennifer

My dad was the besst dad in the world. I loved being around him listening to his stories, watching tv together, and working on our cars. I LOVE AND MISS him so much. I don't know how to really explain it. He was my dad and my best friend. Its so hard now that he is gone but i know that he will always be in my heart. I will never let him down though. He has so many people that wish he was still here. Even my friends cause they always called him there dad to. This is a day that I can never forget. He used to call me his ite bitty buger wutter. It will never be the same. I LOVE YOU DADDY. I can't wait till I get to see you again.

Knowing him for 3 years was long enough to know that he was a sweet and loving father to his children, wife, and me. Even though he won't be able to see and hold his grandson Landon James when he is first born, he will be there talking and playing with him watching him grow. I will always love Tim, and will always know him as my other dad. I love you dad and will miss you so much.

To My Honey,I love you!! I miss you so much! How am I supposed to live without you. We were supposed to be together forever! You were the best husband and father in the whole world! Why did God have to take you I'm not ready for you to be gone. Friday night my world stopped breathing, you are my world. But I know what you would tell me "HONEY YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND THE KIDS AND OUR GRANDKIDS". But how I don't know.. I'm lost without my honey here with me. I know your in Heaven that God must have had plans for you, but I still needed you here, the kids needed you here. We have been married 22yrs, how do I make it without you!! I LOVE YOU!! I want you to come back to me!! I miss you!! I will always love you!!!!!!! I will meet you in heaven one day, please wait for me!!
Love,
always & forever,
your wife,
Mrs.Timothy G Holliman SR
