Teal's Awards and Scholarships

This sketch is by an artist in Rome when Teal was 16 and went to Europe on an educational trip.

Teal's Grave Site
If tears could build a staircase
And memories a lane
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again

Teal was the Victim of an Abusive Relationship 
This is what happened
(The events leading to her death 
& links to information about abusive relationships)

Teal Shaun Holland was Brutally Shot and killed execution style 12/17/00  

No one can hurt Teal again   Our hearts are broken.  
Teal was her parent's only Daughter and my first and oldest Grandchild.

Teal's Scholarship fund has been used for the following

A gift of $500 was presented to 
Shiner High School Band Boosters in 2008
The money was used to help purchase a new French Horn
Teal's favorite instrument

A gift of $500 was presented to 
Dewitt-Lavaca Special Education Co-op
 in memory of Teal Holland in March 2006
I just can't say enough about the wonderful job 
they do with special needs children.

We have decided to do something different this year with Teal's Scholarship.
Dewitt-Lavaca Special Education Co-op does incredible work with special needs children.
They do amazing work and are totally dedicated to their work.
We have decided to make a donation to their Co-op in Teal's name.
Teal loved children and I am sure she would be very happy about this decision. 
A gift of $500 was given on Feb. 16, 2005
