She was my first true best friend when I was in 6 th grade. It was fun growing up together. She cared deeply about others and was way too hard on herself. She was wise beyond her years and was always kind and uplifting if you were down. . Im glad she is now at peace.

Holly was wonderful, unpredictable, extremely funny and a good friend at times. She was sweet and kind and had a huge heart. I loved knowing her.
Heartfelt condolances to her mother, sister and brother. A very sad time!

Holly's dry sense of humor and her positive spirit always made our exercise classes at the Harris Y together more fun. I am so saddened to learn of Holly's death and I will miss her. My condolences to her mother, Nancy, and her family.

Holly was a kind and warm friend. I always knew I could pop in at a moment's notice and she would welcome me with open arms. She loved her beautiful back porch and flowers. She had a great sense of humor and gave very wise advice. I miss Holly. I'm so sorry that she's gone too soon.

I am so sad to learn that Holly has left us. I have such fond memories of high school and working together at Sharon Towers. She represented me well as my bridesmaid in 1980. She was so beautiful in that long pastel yellow gown with the big floppy hat. Tears.
