Chapter 1: I am born. Well, I would be tempted to do that, but I better not.
I am doing my own funeral arrangements so that none in my family have to decide during a time of grief. Those who do not, are selfish and have no compassion for their heirs.
I was born in 1974 to William Theodore Holland and Linda Hampton Holland. However, at 11 months old my sister and I were removed from the home by Social Services. We were placed with our paternal grandparents, Theodore Roosevelt Hollland Jr, and Theresa Mary Kane Holland. At age 11 we were adopted by them.
"Rick Hollands" parents were Theodore Roosevelt Holland Sr, and Hattie Ridgeway Holland of Canton NC
The parents of Velt Holland Sr, was James Wesley Holland and Jesse Stamey Holland.
Upon completing DNA testing, I discovered the checkered history of our family cemetery. I have picked out and placed memorials on 4 spaces where I have decided to have my cremains split into 6 portions as follows:,
25% between Hattie Ridgeway Holland & Edith Holland Ford (lower Holland plot).. Listed as memorial # 173825889
25% at Right Hand of 5th Great Grandfather Ambrose Pharr, (upper lot, old stones: Memorial # 171590378
12.5% at Right Hand of 3rd great grandparents Enoch Elijah Johnson and Lydia Pharr Johnson. Listed as Memorial # 173826529
12.5% opposite side of Wm Judson Holland & Tine Clark Holland. Memorial# 173826700
12.5% in Descendants of Rick and Theresa Holland Cremation Garden behind library.: Memorial # 173826658
12.5% in Descendants of Ambrose Pharr Cremation Garden behind Library. Memorial # 173826879
All 6 spots have been marked with 50 yr, concreted in temporary markers. My Last Will and Testament will be reflected to state the same.
