"Emma Jean (Daniel) Holt"

  1. Hi Sweet, precious. MAMA. You have only been gone from us a few days, but it seems like an eternity. I miss you so much. And love you so much, too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I am so glad you have been my best friend. Since my Bill went to Heaven. I also feel very fortunate to have been able to spend so much time with you in the past few months. despite all the rules that were imposed because of covid-19. we had some good times. Like going to church on Sunday mornings. You had gotten to where you tried to sing, clap your hands, and pat your little foot. And then a shutdown because of the pandemic and no more church services for a while. I watched the joy in your face taken away from you. Also, there was a few years ago when you were in Mardi Gras.at first, you were a little nervous about all the hoop-la, But then you lit up like a Christmas tree when you were being wheeled around the room. I am so glad that you got to experience that.I still think you should have been queen, and you only missed out because of maybe a handful of votes. don't forget the royal wave, So adorable. You were still doing the royal wave a few weeks ago. Maybe you can do it in Heaven. And, I remember how visitors in the nursing home would come up to you and ask for you to give them that sweet little smile and you did. It warmed my heart to see you smile like that. Makes me cry to think about that now. So fun. You were such a cute little Mama. And so you shall remain.❤️❤️❤️❤️. A couple of weeks ago when I came to hospital to visit you, I was fixing to leave the room and I said to you, "be sweet". And you said as plain as day. "I will". I was so excited I told the nurse and she said she thinks God let that happen to give me some hope. I also am so thankful I got to spend so much time with you including last week when I stayed day and night with you at hospice. Broke my heart to see you laying there so helpless, but with me being there.At least I knew you were at peace and in a safe place. At your service the other day, the total look of peace on your face was beautiful. You have been so tired for so long, And glad you got to rest.I know you are finally in Heaven, where you have wanted to be for a while now. Walking those beautiful streets of gold, Enjoying. Mama, Papa, Dad, and Donnie. And all your sisters and brothers. what a look of joy you must have on your beautiful face now. WELL, done, Mama. you did a Great job taking care of Dad, and I know he appreciated it. You did a great job all of your life. always caring about others. Such a very special person,you are.and always will be in all of our hearts. Thanks for everything Mama and for all of the love and the beautiful memories you created with us.

    We are the lucky ones to have had you in our lives for 95 years. Just know we will all be okay, because we know you are safe in Jesus arms now. Love you forever and always. HOLLY AND John were here for your service and got to visit with the family. Only one missing was you, and we know you were here with us in spirit. Bye for now, Mama. We will all be together with you someday. What a glorious day that will be. until then, stay happy. With all of our love, Linda and family. And Ronnie and family. Hugs and kisses, Mom ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. And again, thanks for the memories. Troy has been with us , too. He loved you like a 2nd. Mother. He has been going out to eat with me and Linda, Sometimes. sweet young man. And helping me a lot. Give Bill a hug and kiss from me and Holly , and sending one to you, sweet little Mama.
