“In that bright city, pearly white city I have a mansion, a robe and a crown,” for Tom Holland those words in that song were thoughts of peace and hope while he was with us – today they are words of reality and truth for him.

Preacher, teacher, author, story teller, song writer, friend, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather – those are the many faces Tom shared with those he loved.

Born in Limestone County, Alabama on July 10,1931 – passed to his new home on April 25, 2019.
