To Martha, Wanda, and Brenda,
While researching the Holley name in Booneville, I came across your mother’s obituary by accident. Unfortunately, over the years, your mom’s address was lost after Fred passed. I will always remember meeting all of you so many years ago, while visiting Booneville to visit my father, Roy Holley, who also passed many years ago. During that visit, Fred Holley and your mom hadn’t married yet. Please know, your mom and all of you are in my prayers. Your mom was truly a kind and peaceful woman and may her soul rest in eternal peace. I will always remember her and meeting you all so many years ago.
Thomas (Tom) Holley
