    To all our Holland church family. So sorry we were unable to attend the graveside service. We will truly miss seeing “Grandmother” on Sunday mornings when we return to the NH. May all of you feel the strength and peace of God surrounding you at this time. Love and prayers to all.
    Rayford and LaJoy

    Bobby, Farrell and Wendell, while I'm sad, I am filled with wonderful memories of spending time with your family. From the all night singings in Jackson to shelling butterbeans at your house, we all had happy times. I love you all.
