Arnett Holloway lit a candle

“Julia Edmundson Holloway (mother of Wendell, Arnett and Lynn), daughter of Cora Speight Edmundson, spoke of knowing Cousin Canary. Alonzo Rico Speight was in touch with Cousin Canary over the years. In his phone calls he described his visits and let us know how she was doing. Rico's heart-warming reports helped us feel connected with Canary during her latter years.”
