Holly was a ray of sunshine wherever she went. Now she will be sending her sunshine down on all of us from Heaven. Her wonderful smile always made me feel good. It always pained me to know she was in so much pain...now there is no more. I will miss you but I'm sure you are in a wonderful place. God will take care of Danny and the children..especially now when they need Him the most. Thank you Holly, for being a part of my life.

Danny, Alex, Wes and Nat...I'm having a hard time coming up with words to express my sadness for y'all. I know how much she loved each of you and was so proud to call you her family. She had a heart of gold, a wonderful sense of humor and was fierce about her family. I loved Holly with all my heart. Please know that I am here if y'all should ever need anything at all.

Dear Danny;
I am still speechless to hear about Holly. I am so sorry for your loss. My thought and prayers are with you and the kids. I finally got to met my cousin wife, what I do know is she was a loving, caring wife and mother. And her smile would light up a room. Danny if you need anything , please call
Love you cousin
