Best Friends

Finally the rain has stopped and we were able to get back to school and get on with things. Kim and I took the girls over to the Baughman Center and Lake Alice for a little photo session. We wanted to take some pictures out by the lake, but as soon as we walked over, we spotted an alligator very close to land so we turned ourselves right around.

Linda Holloway

October 19, 1944 - July 25, 2008

I remember the first time I met Linda. Our friends Bobby and Paula had just brought home their newborn, and Ron and I went over to say hello and welcome the new baby. Linda was the proud new grandmother …and oh was she proud. I'm trying to think how best describes Linda, and the word CHIHUAHUA comes to mind; small, FEISTY, loyal, protective of her own, did I say FEISTY yet? :) I absolutely loved being around her and her family. She and her husband Raymond perfected the ever-so-normal husband and wife kidding and friendly bickering with each other. They were hilarious! And I can't think of a better time I've ever had than the time we all played the board games Scategories and Taboo together many years ago. Oh My Gosh!! I can't even tell you how hard I laughed...(and those of you who know me, know what this means). As you can see from the pictures below, there was always a lot of laughter.

Linda and her husband Raymond lived in the town of Sneads their entire lives. She and her best friend Barbara "ran the town" from city hall for over 30 years. They lived very close to each other, worked together, retired together, and sadly passed away within just a couple of months of each other.

Linda, we will miss you. Thank you for always treating my family like a part of yours.

Linda's friend and fellow church member, Melissa Craven, sang this song so beautifully at Linda's funeral service.

After pressing play, entire show will load before it begins
