AS our Date get closer,I think about you more often and wonder what you would be doing know (beside smiling). Some days I can laugh and smile. Some days I don't want to do anything, but sit by myself and remember being with you. I miss you... but I praise God that you are with Him.

My mind still has not accepted what has happened. Mike was my brother and my biggest support; from dancing at church to going to school. He was always there to encourage me. His smile would brighten the darkest of days and his personality was truly one of a kind. I know that he's in heaven rejoicing with the angels, while sitting at the feet of Jesus. (shining that bright smile of his). I truly miss him and I will never forget him.

Mike is too cool. He speaks his mind clearly, and freely. He doesn't care about what people think about him.
There's this way that we men in the church put up a front when we first meet people. We can be superficial and prideful, fearful of bonding with other guys, insecure... all of that good stuff, it happens. Not Mike. Mike just doesn't care. He shows a strong, Godly, manly, brotherly love to any other brother that he meets. He encouraged me to be less superficial and more Real, like Jesus.
He's protective of the people he loves. Mike is a fly guy... He has a gift of creating joy and warming hearts.
I speak of him in the present because From what I've read so far He's still living in all of our hearts.

May the peaceful presence of God the Father, comfort the realtives, friends and church family of Decon Mike Holly, and the joy of this season surround you with His love. I meet Deacon Holly, when he visited my church one evening after being at his own church all day. The joy, meekness and kindness that he brought to our service seem to speak of the life in Christ he had obtained on earth, what an eternal elevation in to the heavenly presence of God he has gained !! To be absence from this earth means to be forever present with GOD, may the memory of his latter days bring you joy and comfort. AMEN !

As you may know Mike was my uncle, a very good uncle infact. He loved his family very much, and we loved him too. I lost my mom a while back before he left and I couldn't understand why. And know this happened and I know that God called him and he answered his call but I dont understand why is it that people that are most important in my life past. Yes I love to sing but I remember when he told me that he was going to let me sing at his church one day. But that day never occured. But I know one thing I'll try my best to succeed in life because he always wanted the best for my brother, sisters, and I. I just want him to know that I love him very much and that I'll miss him very much.
As I try to get over my grief I know you are watching me,
Watching me,and Guiding me to do my best.
But I just want you to know Uncle Mike I will pass this test.
This test is just taking me to another stage.
A stage that will take me very far ,
Very far to the place were GOD wants me to be.
And I will follow that stage.
Me, Me, Me.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Holly family for their loss. Devon Holly is a student of mine at Sasha Bruce and I am well aware of how deeply he has felt the loss of his uncle.

I first met Mike through Springs of Living Water Church of Restoration in Waldorf, Maryland. I have visited the church a few times a year while visiting the Ramsey and Jimerson families. Although I did not know Mike very well personally, when I would visit the church, his big smiles and big hugs were visible signs of his joyous love for his Lord. I pray that you may experience the assurance of knowing that he has gained heaven for eternity and is rejoicing in spiritual gain. I pray that you may also experience the same eternal victory that Mike has won as well. "For I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:14).

We offer our sincerest condolences to the entire Holly family for the physical loss of your beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, or cousin. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for sharing such a wonderful man with us. Michael leaves a great void in our home and a vast void in the church. The blessing is that he leaves us great and heart-warming memories. The encouragement that he gave lives on; the gifts of his hands are still here... The seal of the ministry rests in the testimony of Deacon "Mike". We will forever love him and you all for sharing. I know that he told you how much he loved you all... let me say that he told us how much he loved you all, too. Mother Holly, he desired that you take good care of yourself and be stress free. Daddy Tim, he spoke of his love for you just days before he left us. Grandma Catherine, his desire was to see you... And Lennette, he knew a special love with you and he was happy because of it. Be encouraged that he is present with the Lord and is awaiting the time of reunion with us all.

Michael was like a big brother to any woman who knew him, a protector, as shield, a guardian. His presence and that big beautiful smile will be missed. Michael's smile was enough to brighten a whole room and because I know that Mike is now with the Father, the angels are now enjoying that big Smile. To the Holly family cherish all the times with Mike. Rejoice and know that he is in God's loving care.

I just want to thank God for all the things that he has done. He gave me Michale Tim. Holly as a uncle for 34 years. But you know the best thing about that he out lived Jesus by 1 year. Jesus diead at 33 years old. So I thank God because according to Roams 8:28 All things work together for the good of them who love the Lord, and my uncle Loved the Lord. So God Bless you all and thank you for your e-mails your call and you prayers.

my thoughts and prayers are with the Holly family as they go through this time of grief. It has been only a month since I suffered the loss of one of my loved ones and so truly speaking from expereince I can say that only time and God will bring you through the storm. I never met Micheal but I do work with his newphew Devon and from our conversations I can tell that he was a kind and awesome man. May the family have peace in this time of sorrow and be blessed.

I worked with Mike while he was at D&P. He was a wonderful, sweet man with a great smile. I got the impression from our many group lunches in the warehouse that he had overcome some hard times in his youth and that the church was very important to him.
I will truly miss him but I know that he is with God.
