My condolence to the Holt(Carter) family. I attended school with Julia in Bessemer, AL. My heart is so heavy, I was just talking about her to my husband. I had planned to come out to the Funeral Home and didn't make it. People and Friends, don't put off anything, we just don't know when we are going to our final resting place. Hope to see the family Saturday.
