My Hubbys Brother Larry Holt 10-11-10

by A Proud Holt
(Macon GA (soon))

My Brother-in-law Larry Holt Had a heart attack early in the morning just getting ready for work. He was a working man like the rest of his family his values lay in providing and loving his family.

He was a lot like My Love Francis P. Holt the baby brother we all called Paul. A great sense of humour and my my how that man could talk. He was so friendly from the day I walked into the Holt Household. Made me feel welcome immediately.

There was more heartache for the Holt family though their cup runneth over already. I had written all that this poor family had experienced but I suppose it was too graphic and accusatory to a certain funeral home in Macon Ga. I soooo wanted the story printed so that no one would ever have to go through what this poor family has been through.

Larry and Paul had a painting business together at one time and I knew that Paul did the striping the edging because when we began home projects that is what I was stuck with. Oh how I wish that I could go back just to sit and talk with the Holt's, all the brothers and sisters and mama the way that it was before everything was shaken to its very core.

I try to hold things together through My own grief. Paul's Momma died then My Dad then Paul and now his brother Larry. I am strong and have to be for them they need me and I need to excuse myself from my own grief to fight their battle.

Please give this family strength to get through another test of their faith and family.

Hope M. and Proud to be Holt

Miss you
by: your sister-in-law

Larry,

It's been a year, hard to believe that time has the nerve to pass without you and Paul here. I know that your family is together in heaven loving each other as you did while on this earth. I miss your sense of humor and your smiling eyes. I like to think of you and Paul up in heaven jamming, you on the drums and he with his harmonica making the most beautiful happy music for all of heaven to hear. Please keep an eye out for Sissy she Loves and Misses you both and it tears at her heart.
I am here and still proud to be a Holt :)

A FRIEND FOR A SHORT TIME
by: YOUR FRIENDS

WE KNEW LARRY IN THE LAST YEAR OF HIS LIFE. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO BE A PART OF HIS LIFE IN THAT SHORT TIME. WE STILL CANT BELIEVE HE IS GONE. LARRY WE MISS YOU.

I know what you're going thru
by: Sharon Grabin

My, my, my - the things we have to endure are too much at times.

It seems that as soon as one catastrophe hits then there comes another. It seems as though your family went thru the exact same thing my family went thru.

First it was my first nephew - born without a chance, he lived to be all of several hours - our family's first bout with death, THEN it was my 2nd nephew's tragic death at the tender age of 16 that rocked my dear sister's world. She had been the caretaker of my Mom & Dad for decades until my father passed in Jun '07, one week later her husband died - too much death for one family. All while this was happening my dear daughter was fighting a brain tumor and had already had 2 brain surgeries (she has had 3 by the time I am writing this all during all this death!!!!), and after my father's and brother-in-law's death, my mother was rapidly failing. She died 5 months later, the night before Thanksgiving 2007!!!

I will NEVER forget the energy and the feeling in my household when before the call all was festive and calm and after the phone call all was uncertain and confusing!!!! My daughter couldn't even make it to her own granny's funeral due to her condition so 5 months later, here I was traveling to yet ANOTHER parent's funeral. I feel for the many many trials for your family, but we CAN MAKE IT - WE STILL HAVE THE GIFT OF LIFE AND IN HONOR OF OUR BELOVED DECEASED - WE 'HAVE' TO PUSH ON!! I want to thank you sooooo much for sharing your story. By reading the plight of others it really helps to put in perspective what is required of me to let the legacy of my family go on!!!! THANK YOU
