Can I add a contact icon to home screen?

On y Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ I somehow added a single contact icon to a home screen (not the edge screen.) It's a circular icon with the initial letter of the contact in it and the name of the contact underneath. When I tap it, the contact page (with phone #s and other info) opens.  I would like to add more such single-contact icons to a home screen, but I can't remember or figure out how I added that one. It's a local business so that icon didn't come with the phone, and the local business doesn't have a mobile app, so it wasn't downloaded somehow on to the phone -- so presumably I must have somehow installed it (?)

So can anyone please clarify: is there a way to add such a single-contact icon to a home screen?

It's the Contact widget.  Long-press an empty space on a home screen, then tap Widgets at the bottom.  Scroll to the Contact widget, then long-press and drag it to where you want it on a home screen.  Once you let go, you'll be taken to your Contacts list; scroll through and then tap the Contact you want associated with the widget.  It then will be placed on the home screen.

Thanks very much. That works -- I must have done that while I was just

getting to know the phone at first and then forgotten the process.
