Among them were "The Girls" from Montreat-Anderson College, Janet B, Beth, Janet M. and Sandy. Also left behind is special friend, Zeus Coburn of Florida.
A Memorial service will be held Saturday, March 23, 2013 at noon in the chapel of Groce Funeral Home on Tunnel Road. Rev. Billy Osigian and Rev. David Barger will officiate. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Notice an encouraging thought from God’s word the Bible at Isaiah 25:8: ‘He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it’ We hope this will bring you some peace during this difficult time.
It’s hard to find words. Kim was loved by so many. Heaven has a beautiful angel. May special memories and God’s love heal all who are hurting at this time.
I don’t know about all the religious sentiments that will probably fill this guestbook, but I do know this: Kim was one of a kind, and she will be missed.
Kim, Just wondering what the wild blueberries on the mountains in heaven taste like! If there are any there, I bet you will find them.
Your family will truly miss this very special young woman. I’ve never met anyone stronger in spirit or truer to herself than Kim. She was a kind and precious person and will be missed by all. All of our lives have been blessed by her touch. I’m sure that Heaven is rejoicing that such an angel has come home. God Bless this family
Its especially sad when the good among us die so young. Kim had a truly good heart and I can’t think of anything that it would make for a better legacy. The world is just a little darker without her in it.

Sandra, you are in My thoughts and prayers. I have so many fond memories. I will truly miss her beyond words.
Sandra and Angie: My heart goes out to you two and the rest of your family as you seek peace in a time of grief. We rejoice with you that Kim will not have to endure anymore physical and earthly pain and suffering. She will be missed so profoundly by so many. The Great Shepherd holds her now.
Kim was a very dear and special friend. I know she will be greatly missed by all that knew her. God truly blessed me when we were matched as freshman roommates at Montreat. My life was richer for having known her.
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Offering my deepest condolences to the Holt family at this difficult time. Please take comfort in the bible’s promise of a time when tears, death and pain will be no more. (Rev.21:3,4) I hope you continue to find comfort in Jehovah God and his word the bible for strength and endurance at this sad time.
I am very sorry for your loss. When we lose someone we love it is a very hard thing for us to deal with. Please know that you can find comfort during this troubling time in you life. God gives us that comfort thru His word the Bible. We have the promise that God will “swallow up death forever” according to Isaiah 25:8. Wouldn’t you like to see this happen? How about the grand promise that He will actually resurrect our loved ones back to life!? Not to the life that they lived before they died, but to a life free of crime, disease, old age, etc. So please take comfort in knowing that Jehovah God knows your pain and is willing to help you cope with it until you are able to see your loved one again!
Rest in peace, Kimberly.
Love you
