To my dear, old friend Dave, I send my condolences to you and your family. I never really knew Sibby, but she was so fortunate to have you for her husband for so many years. Take care of yourself and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
We will miss our sweet Sibby. I couldn’t of asked for a nicer sister in law, and aunt for my children. I enjoyed being part of the Holton family and all the good times together. She was a wonderful mom and grandmother and loved all children. She had a way with them, and they just loved being with her (me too). She was a gentle soul and she will be so missed. She loved jig saw puzzles and puzzles of any kind, and always had a big jig saw puzzle in the works. I admired her patience. I love you Sib, and know you are at peace with family and friends that have gone before you. Dave and family my deepest condolences, and Dave you were a wonderful and patient husband over the years. Remember the memories and hopefully they will ease your grief at this difficult time.
