I see the countless Chnstmas trees around the world below With tirry lights like Heaven's stairs, riflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Chn.st thzsyear. I hear the marry Chnstmas songs thatpeople hold so dear
But the sounds ofmusic can't compare with the Chnstmas choir up here.
I have no words to tellyou, thej~ their voices bn"n%,J For it zs bryond description, to hear the angels sing. I know how muchyou miss me, I see the pain insideyour heart. But I am not so far away, we reai!J aren't apart. So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I holdyou dear. And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Chn"st thzsyear. I senty ou each a specialgift, from my heaven!J home above,
I sentyou each a memory ofmy uncfying love.
After all love is agift more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stones Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love he hasfor each ofyou.
So have a Merry Chnstmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ thzsyear.

Today we celebrate our Mother, Daughter, Sister and Friend, Brenda Joyce Holt. Although our hearts are heavy, we celebrate her life and know that she is with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Brenda Joyce Holt was born in Manchester, Georgia on October 1, 1949 the daughter of Will Dennis and Thelma Holmes.
At an early age Brenda Joyce accepted Christ as Savior. Anyone who met her could quickly see the value she placed on her faith, her family, and caring for others. She is known by her fun loving spirit and sharp wit; she could make all of us laugh.
Brenda Joyce was a kind person who helped many of her neighbors and friends. She had a generous spirit and could be found driving someone to the grocery store, encouraging someone through difficult times, and keeping the peace among those around her. Her love of cooking was not just reserved for her family but one of her greatest joys was to prepare a delicious meal for a sick friend. She found happiness in doing simple things: listening to music, gardening, reading a good book, enjoying her favorite crime show, or dancing with her grandchildren to Luther Vandross.
Brenda Joyce leaves to cherish her memory: three children, Sherriah Johnson, Donia Holt, and Patrick Marshall; three grandchildren, I<eyanthony Archer, Jr., Milan Johnson, and Patrick Marshall, Jr.; her mother, Thelma Lee Holmes; brother, Richard Holmes (sister-in-law Olivayon); two sisters, Virginia Stevenson, Betty Faye Holmes, and a host of nieces, nephews, and family members.
Brenda Joyce joins loved ones that preceded her in death: her husband, Charles; her father Will; and her brother, Horace.
