I am blessed to be one of Lillian Holdright’s grandchildren. Living on the west coast, it’s hard to imagine her not being there the next time I travel to Nova Scotia. She was a wonderful lady, full of grace and wit and kindness. Her spirit will always be with us. Love to all.

Today is your birthday and you would be 100 years young. Thinking of you and shedding a few tears because I loved you and I miss you. You was not only a mother in law but also a friend; the kind you do not often have the blessing to have had. I thank God for having known you. May you rest in peace and know that I look forward to someday a reunion when we are all called home.
