Jennie Lou, Jerry Don, David, Mary and families,
I am sad, but glad at the same time if that makes any sense. I never knew my Grandpa's, and Alton was just like one to me. He was kind, always had a smile and knew just what to say to make you feel better. The sad is because it's human nature not to want to let go, because you love that person; but yet, if you and them are chrisitians; you're glad that they get to be with loved ones passed and most importantly, our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I know you all are hurting, and I pray God's comfort and blessings are upon you. Can't you just see the reunion he's having up there with all his Lord, loved ones and friends? How beautiful Heaven must be!

It was such a pleasure knowing Mr. Holt! He was always so loving and welcoming towards me when I would see him. He was truly a gentleman and always had a kind word for everyone. I can only imagine the loss his family is feeling now. My condolences and sympathy to you all. Love, Connie (Anthony's "AJ" Grammie)
