Sending many thoughts and prayers to you during this most difficult time.
Holly was such a beautiful person. She always had a smile on her face and a upbeat attitude even when I knew she did not feel well. She is truly missed at our office (Business Services Division) of the Secretary of State.
You will be greatly missed. Thank you for your great friendship and you will always be remembered.
