Margie Lynn Carter Holloway
"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed in scarlet. Strength and honor are her clothing: and she shall rejoice in time to come." These words are taken from Proverbs 31 and describe why Mrs. Margie Holloway so deserves the rest and rejoicing that now greet her.
