Support The Holt Family

Our community is heartbroken by the loss of Mary & Steve Holt to a senseless act of violence. Mary & Steve were two of the finest people you could ever hope to meet. Mary was beyond kind. She gave me a hug each and every time I saw her (and I mean EVERY TIME). Steve was the happiest man - youthful and enthusiastic about a wide variety of topics. He could talk about Native American pottery, whiskey distillation, herb gardens, politics, and fish, just to name a few. Mary and Steve’s presence is imprinted at Grace Episcopal Church Woodlawn. 

This tragedy has put an immediate financial burden on the family. We (their Grace Church family) are raising much-needed funds to cover funeral and other expenses, as well as the cost of sending Mary & Steve's granddaughter to daycare. Funds will be given directly to Mary & Steve's sons, Martin & Jesse.

Donations in any amount will be helpful and deeply appreciated.  If you prefer, you can donate directly through Grace Church. Checks can be designated for the Holt family in the memo line and sent to Grace Episcopal Church, 5712 1st Ave N, Birmingham, AL, 35212. If you are unable to give, please remember the family and friends in your prayers. 

We ask everyone to please respect the Holt family's privacy during this extremely difficult time.
