"In my dream, Tina was laying on the floor rolling around and laughing and playing with Holly, like I saw them do many times before when they lived with me prior to moving to Texas," Sherry Linn Green told ABC.
"I believe Tina's finally resting in peace knowing Holly is reuniting with her family."
Holly's uncle met her about eight months after learning she was alive.
NOMADIC RELIGION
Women who said they were members of a nomadic religious group brought Holly to a church in Arizona when she was a baby, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said during a news conference.
The white robe-clad women were barefoot and said their religious beliefs included separating males and females.
They also said they were vegetarian and did not use or wear leather goods.
The women indicated that they had given up another baby before at a laundromat.
Investigators believe this religious group traveled around the Southwest and had been seen asking for food.
