Our deepest condolences on behalf of Primo George uncle's family; His uncle my grandfather Romen Holmes.
I have never met Primo George in person however I have memories of my mother Maritza- His 1st cousin affectionately calling each other "Mopri, speaking on the phone remembering old times when she lived in New York with Primo, Maria, Omark, Jessica & Ericka and always remembering their birthdays and anniversaries.
I am fortunate to have a relationship with my cousins and that we can continue the bond Mami & Primo had.

Siempre en nuestro corazones y memoria, 
Que Dios y los bueno Santos guie y proteje a Maria y la familia siempre.
Nuestro mas sentido pesame.

In Loving Memory of Primo George

Our heart and prayer go out to the Holmes family. Maria, George will be missed but never forgotten. I am grateful to have visited George recently. Above all, I take comfort having known George since 1983. He was a fellow veteran, loved and respected by many. May he rest in peace.

Dear Maria and Family,

My deepest condolences for your loss.  It was always a pleasure seeing you and George at Albertson’s every week!  It has been an honor and a pleasure to have known such a sweet, wonderful family man.  George you are loved and missed.

With my love and prayers for peace,

Laurie Affronti

I have been friends with Maria and George over 30 years and he was like a brother to me. Thoughtful, kind and caring. I will miss him a lot and miss him calling me “Chattanooga “!
I pray for comfort for his family and loved ones . 💗

My condolences to the family.  
Mr. Holmes was always the life and light in any setting.  
Coming from a single parent household, he showed me how a man was supposed to truly love his wife!  I could feel the love without words!  He was not only a great husband, he was also a great father, as well.  My thoughts and prayers are with the Holmes family during this difficult time.

Mis Condolencias para su esposa María e Hijos.
De mi Hermano George,
nos quedan buenos recuerdos
ya que siempre nos cuidaba y nos daba
sanos consejos.
Tenía que ver mucho con nosotros
y hacía lo posible para que la familia
saliéramos adelante, ya que eran
momentos difíciles, pero gracias a Dios
salió en victoria.
Puedo decir que fué un Hermano dedicado a su bella familia con mucho amor.
Cuñada María ; Gracias por haber confiado en él.
A sus hijos gracias por amarlo como
todo Padre se merece.
Esto no es un adiós, sino un hasta luego.
Sé que Dios te tiene en su reino.
Hasta siempre,
Tú Brother; Roger Holmes y Familia.

We shared many years of Great memories..we met through my brother in 1981...he was a father figure to my two sons they are deeply sadden with this loss...

My deepest condolences for your loss of a wonderful father, husband, and great man. We've been family across the miles for 50 years and while we will miss George here on Earth, the heavens are a little brighter now.  Hugs and prayers for the entire Holmes family. 🩷

With love,

My dear Maria: cuz, sister-in-law, and my sis in Christ.  The love between you and George was rare.   Fifty six years of marriage is a testimony of love, grace, mercy, and patience.  If ever there was a plan from God for two people to be soul mates, that was you and George.   Your love was the true “Love Story.”  My heart is with yours as you walk through this valley.  Your family is with you, always.  All my love and prayers.  Margie

Mr Holmes was one of the best men I knew growing up.  He was always so positive and encouraging to me. He made his home so inviting and me me feel like family whenever I was there. His wide smile was infectious and his laughter was contagious! I write this through some tears thinking of the rest of the wonderful Holmes family. I know you are hurting and I just want to hug you all! I’ll always have fond memories of Mr Holmes. May he Rest In Peace and may his memory endure.

My deepest condolences to the Holmes family.  I met George in my teens.  I attended Maria and George’s wedding.  He was my cuz and brother-in-law.  I saw and played with their children when they were little.  He was such a proud Father.  I remember his welcoming smile whenever we visited George and Maria, which by the way, the welcoming smile permeates throughout the entire Holmes family.  Armando and I will cherish the few visits we had with George and Maria. He will be missed tremendously.  But as believers in Christ our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer, we will see George again.  Christ is our “hope of glory.”  This is what keep believers strong during our deepest sorrow.  Praying for the peace of God that goes beyond human peace be with the Holmes family.  All our love.

To the Holmes family,

Sending  our condolences . George protected our safety  and well being in this country by serving for our rights. He was a good person, husband father and great  grandfather may you rest in peace.  You will be deeply missed, but always in our hearts

My condolence to the family.  I was a little boy the first time I met George and always remember him with kindness. In this life time we believe life is a precious gift. Our true reward and joyfulness are when we enter the kingdom of God and once again come together with our family members, friends, love one, and soulmate.

We had such  great family times with George, Papo and Joe were singing and dancing the night away.  There were so many times when we got  together just for the fun of it weither it was a Holiday or not.  You were my brother-in law for 24 years but you were still my family.  You are going to be greatly missed by everyone.  
Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for the family loss. May the love of family and friends provide you comfort and peace during this difficult time. George, Rest in Peace.

Our Family has suffered a HUGE loss when George died. He was a strong cornerstone in the Family. His sense of humor made him beloved by many. He was always looking to help someone in need. He was a true friend who was not only thoughtful, but kind. 
SO MANY years and memories!
From the fun times we had… the hilarious jokes that were told… to the shoulder we could cry on when life had been the hardest.
I will miss you my friend..   Love “Beb “ (Bev)

Words will never be able to express my love for you.  I truly loved when you would talk to me and teach about your culture.  You have always been more to me than just Erika’s dad. You were my Panamanian Papa.  I will truly miss you but  my memories will live forever. Thanks Erika for sharing your dad with me and the whole Holmes family. Love Always Lari

So many pictures and videos I can share, however this was the last time I saw you. I'm very happy that Frances and I was able to see you and spend time with you. Thanks for many memories. Frances, remembers you dancing with her at dad's birthday party, the video is too cute. Heaven has called for you and another assignment has been issue.  I know you will be great at it Angels are perfect! If you see mami give her a hug for me.  Rest in heaven 🙏🏾
