Leave a tribute for Dayle Christine Holland.
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. I remember Dayle as a wonderful role model at Pilot Mountain; so friendly & sweet to everyone. I went to school with her & her brother, Larry, who was in my class. She was older than us, so we naturally looked up to her. I got to know her kind mother, who worked at the school. The whole family was so special to me. May the Lord's Peace be with Dayle's family.
I was so sorry to learn of Dayle’s death. While I didn’t get to see her very often, I have fond memories of her since we became friends in the first grade at Pilot Mountain School. She was able to attend a few of our class reunions and her smile was always a welcome sight. My condolences to her family and friends. Judy Rich Clark
