With deepest sympathy to my best friend Chebon and her family. At a difficult time like this words cannot say enough. May time heal your heartache and pain. The Holliday family wishes you and the family peace.
So sad to hear of Margaret's passing. She was my first babysitter and I will always cherish my memories of her. My condolences to you Tracey, Chebon and Princetta.
You were the first person my family and I met on Fleming Road in Flint, Michigan, and from that day on, we became family. The Hodge family is sending our heartfelt condolences to Chebon, Tracy, and the entire family. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I know your up in heaven smiling sis. Take your rest. I ❤️ you. Mika 😘
