Condolences for the family of “Nicholas James Holden”
So sorry for your loss. God Bless🙏✝️💜
My condolence to the family. It is never easy saying bye to a loved one; just know that we will all meet in Heaven one day. Peace in God.
My condolences to all that cherished him. I have only a few early memories of time spent in TX with Uncle Nick. He was eager to show us kids how to make fools gold and other science experiments.
Deepest condolences to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
