RIP Holly! I Grew up and went to school with Holly for 12 years. I remember often spending time at her house after school or riding in the car with her and her mother going to Girl Scout meetings or summer camp. Sincere condolences to her family.

I am very sorry to hear of Holly´s passing. Many years ago Holly and Marge Morgan helped me through a difficult time in my life. I have been grateful to this lovely, understanding lady ever since. She will be missed as she had the kindness and understanding to help so many. RIP Holly and Thank You for your patience with me.
