Wonderful Lady gone too soon. I have many many wonderful memories growing up with the Holloway family, Jan was like a second Mom to me, the camping trips, the fishing trips and just being with them and all their friends at the campground are memories I will treasure. I hope you and Bill are together at your new campground because that is something you both loved very much. Prayers go out to Suzanne and her family as she goes through this tough time, but she is like her Mom, one strong Lady.
Condolences to You and Renee’ , Ed …
Bill and Suzanne and Cindy jo
My thoughts and prayers are with you
