Dear Rick, Andrew and Terri,

I learned yesterday of Holly's passing. As a friend since high school, university and time after, we enjoyed a close friendship with lots of memories. I am very sad for your loss of this wonderful lady.
God keep her soul and her heart with all of you.

Rick, I am so very sorry to hear of Holly's passing. She was a wonderful person who enhanced the lives of all she met. While I only knew her during college years, her bubbling personality and ability to see the good in everyone had a deep impact on my life and the lives of many others in both Village 2 and the house we later all shared on Scott Street in Kitchener. I'd like to think that she and her Mom are together and busy feeding everyone in heaven, those ladies could cook!! She'll be missed.

I met Holly at UofT. She had the best laugh. But those sparkling eyes hid a razor-sharp mind and focus on making sure she helped each charity realize its full potential. She was special
