Family,
I speak Peace and continued Blessings to you all from Our Father.You will never know the depth of Love our family has for Mr. Holmes. (Mr. O) I grew to find out through my son how Mr.Holmes came here through God’s divine plan and did his assignment with a humbling sport of Love. I am a witness that God did that. I prayed to God if my child was where I couldn’t be at a certain time that God would place someone there in my place. God Did That to the highest. I will be eternally grateful to God , Mr Holmes and his family for the real Love that they gave unconditionally to my child. Please cry when you need to but celebrate Mr. O.! A genuine child of God! We need more Mr.O’s. Rest In Peace until that trumpet sound. Family hold on to those memories. He will hear “ Well done My Good and Faithful Servant”🙏🏾❤️.

My heart felt condolences to the family of Elder Oliver L. Holmes. He was a true man of God who not only loved people, but one who people loved. He was an individual who always wanted to know what could he do to help, even when the task he was volunteering to do was not his responsibilities.
For the many years, more than 36, that I had known him, I have never seen a more humble individual and he always had a positive word to say and he will be greatly missed. As the days / months ahead go by, I am praying that God provides his tender console as only He can give.
