Mrs. Holbrook always greeted me at church with her beautiful smile and a special hug. I will miss her dearly but I know we'll have a sweet reunion one day. Praying for all of you, her precious family ♥️

A more dedicated Christian lady I've never met. The love she had for her Savior radiated from her and touched others. She will be missed, butit brings a smile to think of how happy and whole she now is in Heaven with those she loved and missed here on earth. We look forward to that glad reunion day when we will see her beautiful smiles.
