She really did touch more people than she will ever know, and my heart is breaking right now.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friend. God Bless.

Thoughts go out to her family.

It does not sound like a coincidence that she fell asleep for the last time in the sky.

Heartbreaking indeed. Holly's posts always were constructive and encouraging and informative. My condolences to her family; may they take comfort in knowing how much she meant to us.

This is so sad.

Holly was a pioneer with a pioneer spirit. She was one of us and was in it for all of us. Thanks so much Holly--I'll remember and miss you.

May your family and friends find comfort and pride in your gifts to us.

Sharon

Say what you want about life, but it sure isn't fair. This is one of Holly's posts (about what to plant in a garden):

Quote:
I would plant some lavender. It can be persnickety to grow but its essence is so lovely.

Maybe we could plant some lavender for her?

Lavender. I was just picking it with my mother today. Dear, sweet, positive Holly. I can't wrap my mind around this, and I ache for her family. We scattered my brother's ashes almost two years ago. My Mom and I will miss him forever, but he is still with us whenever we are together.

To Holly's family: Know that she touched so many lives in a profound way thru her encouraging words and strong spirit. We won't forget her. And she will live on in your hearts. I'm so sorry for your immeasurable loss.
prayer and tears and the fragrance of lavender,
Joan

This is just incredibly sad news. Holly's messages were always pleasant and cheerful. She had become such a popular member and fixture here, it's hard to believe she started posting just this March. Such people are rare.

My deep condolences to her family.

There is one thing that I would like 2 change on one of my posts. It read
Quote:
I have to respect the wishes of her blood family. Although I know that U U ARE HER FAMILY!!

Everytime I read it, I know I wanted it 2 read U ARE HER FAMILY 2!!

She loved u guys, she loved John, as soon as he came in the door from work, Holly would want 2 be there with him. She wanted 2 spend her time with her loved one, or if her sister called while we were talking on the phone, she always hung up and get back to me later.
I feel in my heart, that Holly would have wanted everyone 2 stick together at this time. I know that Holly still wants me 2 get off my butt and go 2 Stamford. I know that what happened had nothing to do with the procedure, I have talked 2 the nurses, her sister etc, I know that Holly would want us 2 carry on... :!:
