My dear Holly, you said you were in the hospital again, but never answered me why. I will miss our games of Words with Friends. You were fun to work with and I will treasure your friendship and your smile.

Holly has been my favorite person to share stories with. She always brightened my day and nick named me the " Lady Bug " . I hope she is watching from above when I´m releasing my ladybugs this year. I Will always think about her and remember our funny stories. Her laughter was contagious!!

Holly has been my special friend for over 50 years. No one could make me laugh like she could, she was so funny. I love her dearly and will miss her so much. My sympathies to all of her family.

I think of Holly often. Started out in Jr High together from double dating to fishing in Minnesota. She always had a smile on her face and can make you laugh at anything!
