TRIBUTE TO HOMER ALLEN HOLBROOK
13 MARCH 2019
My heart sank when June read me the text she had received at 12:38 this morning. Kay Tatum had sent it to her as June, Edwina Mann and Kay had been keeping Alma company at Presbyterian Village yesterday. June told me that Homer had passed away a few minutes before Kay had sent the message. Then we both spoke with each other between sobs and I could barely see through the tears whelping up in my eyes. I was making every effort to keep my composure for both of us, but we both knew we had lost a wonderful friend. Homer, Alma, June and I have been, what I consider to be, very close friends for many years and have shared many delightful meals together. We had a very special bond that could never have been broken.
Homer and I would discuss the politics of the day or the many other issues that would bestow us. I won?t say we didn?t have differences of opinions on issues, but we always came together with a happy conclusion upon which we all could agree. Sometimes he would sway me to his side, and sometimes I would sway him to my side, BUT we were always friends to the end. Homer was a GREAT FRIEND a Mentor, and a Christian Brother! June and I will miss him sorely, but will think fondly of him often. Our hearts go out to Alma and her and Homer's family members.
I also send a special message to my dearly departed friend: Homer, may you continue your eternal life and have rest in eternal peace. You will be missed sorely ? but NEVER FORGOTTEN!
Dr. H.F. ?Bunny? Brown, III
