My deepest condolences to Holly´s family and friends. I worked with Holly at TJX. Her presence on our team was invaluable, and her absence will be deeply felt. She was not just a coworker but also a friend to many of us, and her contributions to our workplace will always be remembered. Holly was always so much fun to be around. I will miss her greatly.

Holly was one of my oldest and dearest friends going back 40+ years to our days at Filene's and all the way through to workdays at TJX. Exchanging funny stories with her is what I think I will miss the most. We are all lucky to have had Holly in our lives, although all too briefly.
