Holly was a tremendous woman of faith that always had a prayer in her lips for our family. We met through the kids in the campground. She had a very special place in her heart for my kids and we will cherish those memories forever. Thank you for being a blessing in our lives.

Holly was always ready with a quick smile and ready to talk about you and your family. She was always ready to pray for you if there was a problem. She loved her family fiercely, as they were the most important people in the world! You could tell where she was, even yards away by hearing her cute laugh! Great person!
