Yes. I thought it was about a year ... I just checked out her Facebook page which still lives on and confirmed my thought as I see a post from her Mom. My childhood friend. Our Freehold childhood friend and amazing woman.
Holly. Well... for me the street on Starling Avenue just would not have been the same. Her laughter... her silliness. Her boldness. Her heart. Holly loved with all her heart. She would do things on a dare. She would speak her mind. She was loyal to everyone she knew and that loyalty shined on for all of her years here on this earth. I will never forget sitting in English class the first year she celebrated Christmas...and said its only 360 (some odd number) to Christmas... she shouted out her joy right in the middle of a classroom where most of us were just looking at the clock.
Her hands. Her spirit. She could brush by you without a touch but you knew she was there... she could also touch you and it was so light... her spirit in the flesh was so light. That is why I just know she is still lighting up our worlds in her wonderful, joyful ways.
If you knew and loved Holly feel free to leave a post. Every life has a story... a royal sequel. Holly's is one that will continue to inspire us for generations to come. Holly... upon hearing of your passing last year I was in a cottage on Johns Island in Charleston. Laura Sacca chatted in.. did you hear. I stood up, threw down my glasses.
And sobbed. I love you girl. One day we shall see you again... and I for one can't wait. Until then...as your Mom says... look over us Angel. Darling Angel! You surely live on. xxoo
