Holly was a dear sweet friend. I will miss her greatly. I am glad she loved Jesus and is now sharing in His peace and love in person. Our church will miss her and I want to thank her family for sharing her with us. She loved you all very much and appreciated the tender care you gave to her. We will see her again someday. What a special promise!!

I remember hanging out with Holly at Woodridge Swim Club in Lititz in the early 70’s. She was fun to laugh with. I enjoyed those hot summer days at the pool. Sending my deepest sympathies to her family and close friends.

Holly cleaned for me for over 30 years. She was a wonderful, kind, and thoughtful person. Over the years she became a good friend and confidant. She loved my pets and frequently helped me out as house and pet sitter when I travelled. I was saddened by her cancer diagnosis and have missed her visits to my house. I know she was a person of great faith and has joined the angels in Heaven. Condolences to the family.

Twenty eight years ago Holly came into our home and our lives. Holly was a perfectionist in her work which is why she excelled in her chosen profession. Holly loved dogs and so we knew our dogs were in good hands when Holly moved in with them as we traveled. There were several Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners that Holly joined our family, and she enjoyed watching our boys grow up. We were so sorry when she received her Cancer diagnosis, which she handled with strength and grace. I know it meant the world to her to have her family supporting her.
We will miss her terribly and hope she is pain free and at peace

My deepest condolences and blessings to all her family and friends!

To Holly’s Family,
I know Holly fought a hard, couregoeus fight but now she is in Heaven and most likely sitting on the beach in the nice warm sun. You know I cared a lot about her and I am going to miss her as a freind and a neighbor. She was definitely a great one of both. Holly I hope you Rest in Peace. Jane and Richard’s porch where we all gathered to chit chat will never be the same. But we will all remember you fondly. Bless you my friend.
Hugs to Peggy, Holly’s mom, her daughter Angie, grandson Jacob, sister Beth and her brothers Tony and Steve, and the rest of the family and friends. My deepest sympathies go out to all of you.
