So sorry to hear this. The Holloman’s were a sweet family in Christian Harbor that I remember visiting while growing up. Prayers for the entire family.
I remember Billy. He would come in O’Connor’s with the telephone guys I called them. Ralph Wilbur Chester and some more, They were great guys. I miss them all.
Billy and I have been very close friends for many years. We played golf together just about every weekend. We have been close friends since our teen age years.
I will miss seeing him come to Gillam and Mason
I remember Billy well and his whole family. I loved every one of them. Billy sure favors his Daddy. God bless his family.
Elizabeth and Ruth. These girls were very close their entire lives. Dear family, we will all miss her very much. I have such fond memories of Aunt Ruth. One of the sweetest and kindest ladies I have ever known. She always said “we love y’all”. And, we love and miss you too. Rest in peace. Brenda
