Hollie was a true Christ-like person. Sincere, thoughtful and loving and will be greatly missed. Her wonderful sense of humor always made you feel better and I will miss laughing with her the most. She always had a houseful of animals she cared for – another one of her loving qualities that gave me respect and admiration for the person she was. Now, pain-free, she can watch over her friends and loved ones from above still adding light to our lives, I love you always Hollie!

Hollie, you were the most wonderful person and sister I could ever imagine. Your love, care and concern for all people and animals was amazing. You always gave of yourself without ever expecting anything in return. You set an example I hope I can always live up to. I will miss you here on earth, but I know we will be together in Heaven. Your strength through your cancer was nothing more than amazing. I will cry allot because I miss you being my strength on earth, but I rejoice knowing you are healed and in Heaven. I will thank God everyday that he gave me you!

Dear family of Hollie: Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. Death is such a tragedy for all of us, and when it touches us personaally, few of us find the comfort that we search for. And death itself leaves so many of us with unanswered questions. However, many have found comfort in God’s Word the Bible. The Bible teaches that soon. God will swallow up death
forever and wipe the tears from all faces. (Isaiah 25:8) God also promises to reunite us with our dear loved ones, by means of a resurrection, right here on earth, and we can live life to the full in paradise, that will be filled with peace, happiness and perfect health for everyone. What a wonderful hope and prospect this is. (John 5:28,29) As you read the above texts in your Bible, may the wonderful hope they give us, along with loving memories, bring you a measure of comfort, during this most difficult time. Sincerely: David Cowles

I tried to follow your instructions, but he destroyed my life anyway. You warned me and I did listen. Now that I have lost 3 of my 5 siblings, the pain is unbearable. All Parents and Grandparents gone. I know you are with me, and that is what makes me hold on. Love you and I will see you soon.
