Holly Kay Smith

Dear Smith family:
We were deeply saddened to hear of
Holly's passing. We met Holly about 7 years ago when our daughter
was one of Holly's patients. Our daughter was in Children's Hospital for about 11 weeks the first time we met Holly. She helped us through a very difficult time and became a special part of our family. You will never know how many lives were touched by that beautiful smile of hers and her bubbly personality. We thank God for placing her in our lives...

my family and I were really shocked to hear about Holly's passing. She was a great nurse to my daughter, and always went out of her way to comfort her in everyway possible. My only wish now would be to give you back that comfort. she will be truely missed.

Dear Smith Family,
I just learned of Holly's death. I didn't even know who my mom was talking about at first because it didn't register that it could be Holly Smith that I knew as a child. I have always thought of your family as my family. Heidi, Holly and I were very close as kids and over the past years I have thought foundly of them both. I will remember all of the fun times we had as kids, running in fields, playing at family get togethers and attending youth group activities. ...

Please accept our deepest sympathies. She will be missed dearly. Dr.s Kristal, Forche & Golden and their staff.

I am in shock about this news. I had the pleasure of knowing Holly for about the past 3 years through my work. She recognized my last name on my name badge and asked if I was related to Matt Streng, with whom she attended high school. Matt is my husband and she had nothing but good words to say about him. She also was very encouraging to me with my nursing school. She had nothing but positive words to say- always. I have a couple more quarters to go and I will strive to be the best nurse...

Holly was one of my best friends for 15 years. We had many crazy adventures together and many times when we just sat together quietly. I am so thankful that God gave her to me for 15 years and I would not trade it for the world. Please find comfort in knowing that she is dancing with all the children she helped who preceeded her in heaven. I will never forget my Holly-Berry. If I end up touching half the lives she did I will consider myself blessed.

Holly had a spirit that inspired so many people around her. Her smile lit up the world, and knowing her has been a tremendous blessing in my life and the lives of many. May God's blessings and love surround all of you in this time, and may you know that her spirit will live on in the lives that she touched!

So sorry to hear of Holly's passing. The thing I remember most about Holly is how funny she thought it was when she came into the office at Kirkersville Elementary and I didn't know if she was Holly or Heidi. The whole time they were there I never did figure which was which...just know they were both wonderful girls. Please know your family has my deepest sympathy.

Dear David, Linda and Heidi,
We did not get to spend a lot of
time with Holly,but we will never
forget the fun we had on New Years
Eve.
We are sorry for your loss. But, words can not begin to express our true feelings.
We find comfort in knowing we will see her again at the end of this life when we who are Born Again will spend eternity rejoicing with all the saints of God in Heaven.
