From Michael Hollifield
Hey Grandma,
We all miss you, I finally decided to get off the couch today and do something with life. Savannah needs lots of things in life and if I dont focus and be there for her a 100 percent who else is gonna do it? I am sad she wont get to know what a strong women you were. But the happiest I seen you was when you had your photo's done with me and her. I hope Aunty brings the picture saturday it brings the life out of you! Well I cant wait till Saturday im working on something I hope I get to read to everyone! I love you grandma, and thank you for comming to me in my dream the other night.
Love,
Michael
From Cherie Hollifield
I miss you mom but I am glad you are finally at peace. Life will not be the same without you. Say hello to dad for me and to all the other loved ones that we lost.
From Norma Christensen
Our sweet Laura will be missed so very much! We always tried to fatten her up, and she said I'm trying. The problem with life is that we all must go someday, it just seemed that Laura went alittle earlier than she should of. She loved to talk about her family and the get togethers, we always think that our Tuesday Cards was a therapy session for all of us. There is an empty chair at our table. Thanks to her family for sharing her.
From Loree Miller
Oh, how I will miss you, Laura.
I have lost my best friend. We had such wonderful talks. You always listened to me, and gave me such
great advice. Cards won't be the same without you but I know you will be watching over us and will always there in
spirit.
