Dear Hester Family,
My sincere hopes for happy memories to flood your thoughts through these sad times. I did not know Holly, but I've known Barry long enough to know the Hesters are a good bunch of people. Peace and love to you all.

Holly was a great person. We may not have spoken all too often, but she was always there with kind words and good advice when I needed it. In just being there and being someone to whom I could talk she prevented me from doing some very regrettable things. I will truly miss her, and I give my condolences to the rest of the family.

Mr Hester,Barry, Matt and family. Holly was a great co-worker and even better friend. Holly,Dan,Neal and myself and others had such good times working at juvenile court. She was a positive part of the treatment center and the probation department. Former residents and clients always ask "How's Holly doing? Tell her thanks for helping me." RIP Holly You will be missed.
Love you!!

My memories of Holly are from the softball diamonds of Springfield and tournaments played in Athens, Columbus and Middletown. She always had so much fun and her teammates had a blast being around her. I haven't seen her in a long time but have thought about those days many times. When Adele and I talk about those days, Holly's name is always at the point of the conversation and how much fun the teams had. So sorry for Bill and his family. Our prayers are with you.
Rest in peace, Holly.

Dearest Holly,
May you be free of pain and find the peace you deserve in heaven. Although my heart will be forever broken I will cherish the wonderful memories I have of you. Rest in Peace.

Holly, I enjoyed our Sunday morning visits at the gift shop. You were open and honest about your beliefs of God, friendship, and the fragility of a human heart. I'm thankful for having known you, ever so briefly, and for that hug at Krogers a few days before Christmas.
Forever in Peace,
Kim Yates
