IN MEMORY OF... |

Our "Hols". 1985 to 2004. |
Scott Kristy helped Holly's cousins, Erin and Sarah put a video of Hollys' life together that I will forever be in their
debt for doing. It was first shown at Hols visitation and it made a tremendous impact on all who viewed it, it was than
shown at the funeral and I had so many people tell me how REALLY terrific it was.
Thanks again Scott, it's beautiful.
- You never said I'm leaving
- You never said good-bye
- You were gone before we knew it
- And only God knew why
- A million times I've needed you,
- A million tears I've cried.
- If love alone could have saved you,
- you never would have died.
- In life we loved you dearly,
- In death we love you still.
- In our hearts you hold a place,
- No one else will ever fill.
- It broke my heart to lose you,
- But you didn't go alone.
- Part of us went with you,
- The day God rescued you and took you home.
Hollys
Heavenly Friends
A friend of Hollys in real life passed shortly after Holly, her name is Randi and I'd like you to
keep her in your prayers too. She is buried a couple plots over from Holly and they keep each other company.
Below are more friends I've since come in contact with. I'm sure she's met up w/them and enjoys their companionship,
just as I now enjoy the company of their sister, brother, mother, father, or just a caring friend.

I owe so many thank you's and I'd like to thank everyone that helped me in any way to get
through this. First there is Diane, Bless you girl, your the best. Next, Trevor, without
you I'd never made it through the funeral, you were a special friend to Holly and I seriously have no clue how YOU made it
through. And Grandpa Marvin, thank you for being there for me, I was honored you were beside me. And Cory,
as Holly's boyfriend, this had to be almost as hard for you as it was me. I'm glad your okay. Deanie, you
came into my life in the strangest way, but I will never forget you, you and your daughter Hols will always be in my prayers.
The powers that be at the high school, Mr.Johnson, Mr. Zobel, thank you for getting the
okay to have the funeral there and Mrs.W of the art department and all the kids that worked on it
for instigating and creating the cement bench w/stained glass inlay, it is so beautiful!(a picture of it is coming, I promise) and
all of Holly's friends at the High School, students and teachers alike. And
thank you to Sarah and Debbie, your a wonderful mother/daughter team, love ya both. And
Orshelens, Hols loved working there and your contribution seriously helped to clear Hols financial straits. Mrs.R
(Gail), you helped get Holly and I through the roughest summer ever, I will never forget what a great friend you
were to us, and it was so totally cool letting Hols work at the library, Hols was an avid reader and that was the perfect
place for her to be that summer. Every time I look at the statue of the girl reading the library sent, I think of you and
what wonderful friends you and your daughter were to Holly and I. And TBI, Mert, Mo,
Floyd and Bill (sam's bill)-- THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! without you, I'd be with
Holly.
Friends, put this at the exact site car stopped. |

This was the first day, Thank you Dodi for sending this to me. |
See the 8 on this picture, channel 8, a tv station, did a segment on Holly, it was BEAUTIFUL. They
did an excellant job of describing Holly and who she is/was. THANK YOU CH. 8
There were two flower sites, one where the car actually landed and another at the top of ditch next to the
local walking path.
I'd like to tell a neat little story here, a local flood went thru, water was WAY over the road, let alone
the flowers in the ditch where her car landed, I was so upset, I was sure it'd all be swept away :(( but when the water
receded, to everyones astonishment, the flowers and signs were still there!!!
Eventually, the site in the ditch had to be moved up w/the one along the walking path because the wild
flowers got higher than the memorial flowers! So now there is one site along the walking path that continues to grow
w/memento's and remember-me's.
Hols' mom would like to thank everyone who has contributed to and cleaned up the site, it means the world to
me that people care so much.

I'm getting pretty tired here, but one more thing occured to me, I need to thank the City of Exira
for letting us maintain the tribute to Holly at the accident site. A special thank you Holly's Uncle Dwaine, Angie, and
all the kids that helped w/it or left special things there for her. (I am really bad about taking pictures
and ashamed to admitt I did not get a picture of it while the flowers were blooming, if anyone has a picture of that I would
appreciate having access to it; an advance thank you to anyone that can help me out w/that.)>>>Okay, I got one, thank
you Dodi, but i would like one of the site next to walking path if i could get it, thanks.
