To the Holt Family, Georgia and I join you in your time of grieving. We too love Betty dearly. We still recall the wonderful times we spent sitting and talking after sharing the Lord's Supper in her home. She was such a kind inspiration and always spoke of her love for God and her family. The favorite song we remember her singing, "I Love To Praise Him" is one that we hope will help bring you peace and comfort as she is absent from you but present with the Lord. Deacon Dannie Marshall and Georgia.
