Happy Halloween 2012, Dad. I know you loved the Halloween events at Union Printers and seeing all the kids in their costumes and getting candy from you. I can see you grinning ear to ear when they passed around ice cream!!!!

My future father-in-law James was such a good man and great person to have a grand conversation. He loved going with me and his daughter Yo'Lauder to the thrift stores. I will truly miss our conversations and could feel that smile and his laugh. Your son-in-law Roscoe Holt.

Brother Hunter always inspired me when I would see him at Emmanuel. I used to call him, "Young Man" and he and I would just laugh at that title. He was a gentle giant who will be sorely missed.
