OBITUARY
Kim Holland passed away on January 27th 2023. His family
surrounded him with love, Scripture, and prayer throughout his final
hours. We loved him dearly and miss him terribly but also find great
comfort in knowing he is at home with our wonderful Savior.
We know that he joyfully believes 2 Cor 5:8, that "Yes, we are of good
courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the
Lord."
Our grief is natural, but our peace is supernatural. The Resurrection on
the Day of the Lord is our hope.
Thanks for your love and prayers. Details for his memorial service will
be soon forthcoming.
