So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

On behalf of all the Senior Class of BHS 1987, we are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and classmate Jeff Holmes. He was good friend of mine in school and one heck of an athlete. I first met him at Eastside Junior High school and quickly became good friends with he and his family, so sorry I lost touch with him through the years. I pray for his mother and brother and the entire family! Jeff had a great soul and larger than life, he will be missed.
Diane and Family I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the good ole day in Oak Creek Village riding to school together. and cutting up. Those were the carefree days with no worries. Now he is care free again. Thoughts and prayers to all of you through this difficult time. Prayer from mom dad and mark also.
