Lit a candle in memory of Ernestine Pritchard Holloway
Grandma, I will miss you so much. You were taken from us way to soon. I will never forget all the memories we had together and everything you did for me. Now you can watch your dream come true on March 26th, my wedding day, from the sky above. I love you so much grandma and you will never be forgotten.
We were saddened to hear of Ernestine’s passing. She was a dear friend to my mother (Sallie Mae Chason) and to our family for many, many years. When we look at the Madame Alexander dolls, we remember her excitement, enthusiasm, and generosity. She was well loved.
You know your Mother is in a great place. She will be in my prayers.
Connette I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure your mother will continue to watch over you from her home in heaven. May the memories you shared bring you through this most difficult time. Sincerely, Barbara Fleming
Mother left a week ago on her journey to her new home. We shared so many special times that will stay in my heart forever. Having to see my mother go through so many difficult changes in her life, due to unexpected health reasons, she still looked at me and always told me how much she appreciated all that I did for her. Mother knew she had me by her side to make sure she was well cared for and as much as it hurt me to see her having to adjust to so many changes in life, she still smiled with much happiness in her heart. During my visits, I would catch mother reading her bible that she held so dear. We shared many good conversations and when mother would get a little bent out of shape, I could always turn her long face into laughter. Through her, I also gained so many special friends that were in her life. As a gift to my loving mother, I promise to keep the friendship alive with those she left behind. I send my thanks and blessings to all.
Connette I never knew your mother, but I do know that she gave me one of my best friends and I wish I could have been there for you. Both of us lost a love one at the same time, even though I had to be at the other funeral do the eulogy, my prayers were with you too. May God be with you during this sad time and give you strength.
Connette, I know you will miss those phone convsersations with your mom as you travel. Even though you were unable to be with her daily, I know she cherished your long distance laughs! Memories last forever……. I
