Our hearts are breaking for you, Holly and Keely, and your families. A Mother’s passing leaves a space in your life and your heart that can never be filled. But there is so much joy to be felt in memories of your Mom, because you had one of the best! The love and pride she had for her Family was evident to all who were fortunate enough to spend time with her. Know that many folks will miss her dearly, and are joining you as you mourn this wonderful lady. Take comfort in her love that will always be with you. (Sending sympathy and love from Bobbie and Ronnie Hutchison)

What is the measure of a life best lived, if not the love one has inspired in others? May all these testaments to your mom underscore she was the finest of souls. All our hearts are with you today- Love Jeff and the Cyber Security family

Holly, Keely and family, it’s been about 25 years since I saw your mom and dad, but they were never far from my thoughts. They were such a great couple and loved the two of you so much. Know that they are together again and will be watching over you. God has truly gained an angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you all.
