I am so sorry to hear about the loss of such a wonderful person, mother and nurse. As a student nurse in the Winchester ER, Holley befriended me and inspired me through her own work to be a loving and caring nurse. She will not be soon forgotten.

To the Barbieri Family,
My deepest sympathy. I knew Holly for only a short while last fall. She was my student at Winchester. Although I hated the ride, Holly's enthusiasm and eagerness to learn made for a very pleasant teaching experience.
I was so sorry to hear of her passing.

Family: I am sorry for your loss. She cared about you and loved you.
I know you will find the strength
to go forward. She will always be there for you. And when you think you just cant go forward because its too difficult...thats when she will be there w/ you the most. Please take care of yourselves.
Holley: I just want to say, it was a great part of my life to have been a part of yours. We wont be the same without you. Thanx for talking bulldogs with me. I'll miss ya.

My only hope is that Paul Stephen and Joseph know that they were the light of their mother's life. To know Holley was to see her beam about her boys. They filled her every moment with love and happiness. Holley will live on in them always. They now have the most beautiful angel. May you find strength in each other and in your mother's love.

It's always a shame for someone so young, especially with children so young, to leave so. I can remember you in 1st grade right through graduation. You were a strong person. God bless your boys and husband and let us all learn to live every day as a blessing.
