Spending wicked hot summers in a tent, singing songs at church, going to the temple to do baptisms,... the list goes on and on. My teenage years were influenced by Sister Holloman in ways I can't express. Rachel, Kim, Jason, and Brother Holloman-do not dispair! We are family and will be together again!! Love you all and send you strength and comfort!

I will always cherish numerous memories with Karen Holloman. She was like a second mother to me growing up, throughout elementary and middle-school years. I will keep close in my heart the countless times spent at Kim's house and going to garage sales, or going to Claires in the mall to get the latest fashion trends. My thoughts and prayers are with your family now, especially Kim Holloman and her daughter, Karen's grandchild.

We love you all.
