To the Holden family you are in my thoughts and prayers. Eternal rest granted unto the soul of President Mayor Holden and may the perpetual light shine upon him. I just want to thank you for all you have done for the State of Louisiana and Baton Rouge. Rest in peace from your Louisiana Native and Xavierite brother.
