In Loving Memory of Glennis HOLCOMB 1-7-1937 11-22-2007, Pappy, it's hard to believe a year has passed since you were suddenly taken from our lives. A million times we've needed you a million times we've cried a million times we've asked "Why?" Your favorite chair may sit empty, but we will never forget the voice, the smile, the integrity, and the quiet love of the man who once sat there. Yes, God broke our family chain and nothing will ever be the same, but remembering you is easy I do it every day; it's just the pain of losing you that never goes away. Down here we are mourning, but not in vain, for up in Heaven we will meet again., Greatly missed by Shirley, Cheryl, Glen, Abby, Elizabeth and Brothers and Sisters |
