Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal-from a headstone in Ireland.

We are lifting you in prayer

My mother, Bessie Bartlett, and Mrs. Holcomb were friends many years ago. My mom has been gone for 40 years, but I remember Mrs. Holcomb making me clothes when I was in school. We were poor, but mom saw that we always had something to wear and Mrs. Holcomb helped make that possible. Mrs. Holcomb was a great seamstress and a great friend to all my family. I'm really sorry for your loss.

Larry and Janie - I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was "granny" to my daughters, Kristen and Erica. The example she set as a Chrisian, has made such a differnence in our lives.

So sorry to hear of the death of your mother. We were in the same Sunday School class for years at Second Baptist Church.

Her death really touches me personally. I began playing piano and organ in the Holcombs' church when I was about 13 and Mr. Holcomb was the music director. I spent many practices with Mr. Holcomb. I was around the whole family quite a bit. Mr. Holcomb taught me more about “feeling” music than anybody. It was more than the written page. It came from the heart and soul. Those times have a very special place in my heart and life. Mrs Holcomb was such
a loving and down to earth person. Janie and I have grown older, to say the least, and don’t stay in contact . However, from knowing her family, and especially her mother, I think that I can assure Janie that her mom is in Heaven today with her Dad singing with the Angels !!

I have immensely enjoyed our conversations the last few years. She set a gold standard for aging gracefully. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
