I am still teaching our girls (Jenna & Alex) about their Auntie Holly, the baddest DAMZL I've had the pleasure to know. I love you and wish I could make new memories with you my beautiful sister...Until we meet again...

Family and Friends: Holly's ability to keep the family and close circle of friends together is something that should always be remembered and embraced. She has passed along this responsibility to you, and collectively us. Remember those fantastic memories of Holly and use them to draw upon when needed.

Holly, My Sister my heart & soul. I am trying my best right now. I hope you are doing your best work in heaven. We wish you could be here with us but realize your work is more important there. I feel so selfish because I still want and need you with me but im trying. I got your message about Jenna !!! believe me I will take her to smell the pretty pink and yellow flowers, and take her to the Ocean to see her footprints as they have grown so much, and watch them wash away. Thanks for the reminder Holly. I know its time to focus on life as we know it gets away from us so fast. I love you and will be with you again someday, not too soon...

I worked with Holly a lot at the AIAOC and she was always really nice and helpful. Receiving the email that she had passed away was heartbreaking. I am glad she died doing what she loved. I know everyone at the AIA will miss her dearly.

Life is like a train ride. We get on, we get off. We get back on and ride some more. There are accidents and there are delays. At certain stops, there are surprises. Some of these will translate into great moments of joy, some will result in profound sorrow. The biggest mystery of our journey is that we don't know when our last stop will come. Some people on the train will leave an everlasting impression when they get off - Holly, ride like you've never ridden before!

To all who knew Holly - I knew Holly when she was a little girl. It was Heather & Holly, sisters, and they were both cute as bug's ears. The news saddens our family and our prayers go out to her family.
The death of people whom we love
Brings sorrow and deep pain;
But if our loved ones know the Lord,
Our loss becomes their gain.
