Holly Bashor Obituary

This world lost a sweetheart and heaven gained an angel Sunday, December 10, 2006 when our daughter, Holly Marie Bashor passed on at the age of 14 1/2 years of age. After lengthy battles with leukemia, infection, bone marrow transplant, brain bleed, and major complications following surgery, Holly's valiant fight ended in perfect healing.

Holly was born March 2, 1992 in Eugene to Bruce and Kristina Bashor. She was a girl who was beautiful inside and out. She loved spending time with her family, she loved all kinds of animals, and she was an extremely talented artist. We will one day complete her dream of publishing a coloring book to benefit a local organization. She loved making gifts for friends and family and her feisty spirit endeared her to us.

She is survived by her father and mother, Bruce and Kristina (Kjosness) Bashor, sister Megan Bashor, brother Caleb Bashor, Grandfather Sam Bashor, Grandmother Zella Kjosness and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Visitation will be held Friday, December 15th,

3:00-7:00 p.m. Musgrove's Family Mortuary, 1152 Olive St., Eugene. A Celebration of Life Memorial service will be held Saturday, December 16th at 1:30 p.m. at the Eugene Faith Center located at 13th and Polk.

We will miss her much, but we look forward to reuniting with her someday in heaven!

Kristina, Bruce, and family,
I didn't realize that Holly was sick again but you had been in my prayers much of this fall as you and Holly came to my mind often. I'm so very sorry for your loss. She was an inspiration to many people and your family from the little you told me when we did see each other. You were a great help to me when I needed a friend when my Joshua and your Megan were born around the same time. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. I will continue to pray for strength for your family.

Some time words escape us or are so tightly wrapped in sorry and sadness it is difficult to find the ones we want. GOD IS!!! allways and forever our Father who has prepared for us a most wonderful Home above where we shall reside forever and ever. My little Grandson Micah says Greatgrandmother went to Heaven on a yellow staircase and Jesus carried her. He told me to tell the people at the Memorial. I know he saw what he said and it comforted us all in our time of need. Grama Lois loved children and I am sure she is there in Heaven with all our dear children. I so pray it comfort your family as well. GOD IS THERE. Please accept my love and sympathy .

Kristina & Family,
What a joy to pray for Holly and your family over the last few months. To read your updates and witness the strength and trust in Christ has been amazing. Holly was placed in a very special family during her short time on this earth. God knew she would need you all. Thank you for being the great, loving care vessels for such an amazingly strong girl. I cannot imagine the pain of missing Holly and I cannot imagine what your reunion with her will be like either...I bet she can't wait for you to see her new healthy body! Remain strong and brave as Holly would want until that time. Keep your eyes upon the Son!
The Bedwell Family

A friend started sending me emails asking me to pray for your family. I have never met you but each day that I received an update I felt like I was getting to know you.

I will continue to pray for you guys during this difficult time. I know you already know this but Holly is in heaven dancing and laughing in her new perfect body.

God bless you all and Merry Christmas!

No words will ease the sorrow of what you are all going through but my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I only had brief interactions with Holly and Kristina but the bond and talent they share is awe inspiring. I cannot wait until Holly's book is published. I will be first in line. God Bless You All.

Dearest Kristina, Bruce, Megan and Caleb,
My heart is with you all every day,as it has been for the past years that I "met" you oline, and started getting to know Holly and praying for her and your whole family. Now I pray that your grief and aching hearts will ease as you think of Holly being with the Lord, smiling,care- and pain-free! I hope to hear from you again someday, and know that many, many friends are with you now, if not physically, in spirit and the joining in prayer. May God Bless you all, Kathy

Bruce, Kristina, Megan, and Caleb
What an amazing family you are. I have watched you go thru the hardest thing any family should ever go thru. Your honesty, realness, and faith is remarkable. Holly's passing is bittersweet. So very sad to have her gone and yet I know , as you do, where she is...no pain, no sorrow, only peace, joy, and a new body!! But, how we all will miss her and her spunk. I feel priviledged to have known her and to know you.
God's peace and grace to all of you.
Much love, "Nurse Nancy"

"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be graciouse to you; the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace"

I did not know you or your family until a friend of mine sent me the emails you would send out. For months I looked forward to reading the emails and hearing abut Holly. She showed much strength and courage. I prayed for her and your family every time I received an update. May all your memories of Holly bring a smile to your face, and a peace in your heart until one day you can kiss her cheak again in glory.

Kristina and all,
Here it is--middle of the nite again, as it has been so many times in recent months. This is such a unique time for you, I trust your rest, peace, energy--whatever you need--is truly resourced in the God of our salvation, the One Who is "hands on" handling dear Holly now. May you fully receive all of the Lord's grace for each moment to come. Rope-holding in your behalf ...

Kristina, Bruce, Megan and Caleb, I pray for all of you and that in this season of loss you continue to find comfort in knowing that Holly is in heaven and is no longer suffering on this earth. Even though I only knew her through Alissa (my daughter and Holly's classmate) and Kristina (Mommy), I know how very special a young lady she was. I know our Heavenly Father is holding her and loving her now, until we all get to see her again. I love you Holly, we all love you...and will miss your beautiful little face. We look forward to seeing your art work for it will surely be displayed in our home. Forever grateful for the memories! Our love beyond measure, Brooke and Alissa Lynch and Family

Dear Bashor Family,
Words cannot express the sorrow you have entered because of losing Holly. We know first-hand what that is like. Our son was 14 1/2 when He went home too. Remember you will be in our thoughts and prayers during this time and want you to know how much we care for you all.

My heart goes out to the family because it is so obvious how special Holly was, how much she was and will continue to be loved, and how much she will be missed. We will continue to pray for God's comfort and presence with the family. Holly leaves a legacy to many people and her young life has touched so many of us. Because of her, she has united so many of us from all over the world. Her life will continue to impact so many of us who have been challenged in our faith, prayer life and as a reminder of how much we need to cherish every day of our loved one's lives. Holly, your courage and strength will forever impact me!

Holly: We never met you, but you were greatly loved! We learned so much from you. It was a privilege to pray for you and we are glad you are basking in Jesus' presence now. May the Lord continue to pour out blessings on your family.

The past months of getting to "know" Holly via e-mail from her dear mother, as well as other family members, has made us feel that she is part of our own family. Our hearts are full of joy for HER, as she is in the very best of new homes. For each family member that she has left behind, our hearts go out to you with love and sympathy. May you feel the love and peace of our Father, as He gives you special blessings in the coming days and months.
Our love and prayers always,
Mike & Mary Lee Murray
