    Thank you Hollis for sharing a unique experience and life with us all. I just finished reading your book in 3 days and I’m deeply moved. You broke boundaries for many. You set an example of what life can bear you, whether good, bad, or unknown. Your courage is what all of us may strive for. Thank you again. The Creator has a great warrior on his side now.
    Rest in Peace.
