Beverly Kim Jeff and family, our hearts go out to you all. We know this time is difficult and it’s very hard to grasp it. Time will heal all wounds and just knowing that he’s no longer suffering should give you peace. We love you all and we are always here for anything.
Beverly, Kim and Jeff my heart is aching for you all right now. Know that Hollis is in a better place and no longer suffering. We love you guys and know we are thinking of you.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Realize, though, that no matter how much we love another person, we cannot control his or her life, nor can we prevent “time and unforeseen occurrence” from befalling those we love.
