Not sure what to say?

Holly French had the best laugh and sense of fun. We were so fortunate that she was such a dedicated, thoughtful and important leader with the Junior League of Chicago. She was a role model for all of us. She filled the JLC house with welcome and warmth. Her legacy will always be appreciated.

Bob and Holly were our neighbors in the late 1980s. They had just had baby Kathryn, and "game night" at their house was a regular event. Holly made everything fun with her smile and sense of humor. In case that wasn´t enough she volunteered to give our cat, Phoebe, her daily insulin shot whenever we left town. (Who does such a thing?) Holly did, that´s who. They were greatly missed when they moved away. So sad for Bon and his family.

Bon, so sorry for your family´s loss. My sincere condolences.

For Bon, I will remember you softening face as you looked beyond me, thinking of Holly, when I asked about her. She was blessed by your love and you can carry her memory to bring you love even now!

Very sorry to hear of your wife´s passing Bon. Peace to you and your family at this time.

Sending appreciation for Holly´s inspiring, generous and dedicated leadership with the Junior League of Chicago! Her warmth, wit and hard work will be remembered by all who had the joy of volunteering together with Holly. Our condolences and gratitude to Bon and her family for sharing Holly and supporting her as she made a big impact for the JLC, always a shining star!
