December 18, 2023 at 2:07 pmI met Todd through my Mom Pat Hartsell, Todd and Jim Holden were my Mom’s “boys” and she loved them both. They were always up to some type of shenanigans and kept her on her toes. They all met through work and they were a group of nurses who forged a close bond and who remained life long friends. They all remained close even though they no longer worked together and met frequently for lunch dates. Mom and now both of her boys are all up in heaven now watching over those of us left on earth and I know there are probably some shenanigans going on. Rest in peace and love Todd.

I loved my dear friend, Todd. We started our forever
Friendship in 1977 at Va Beach General Hospital in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Lots of great times and belly laughs, taking our Mom’s out to lunch, singing by piano at our favorite pub. Todd bought a townhouse near my husband and my house so we could be close. My little brother. He called me before moving out west and told me of his illnesses. I cried for a while and then prayed . Todd is in heaven, there is nowhere else for such a beautiful soul.❤️
