Holly was a wonderful person, mentor, and manager to work for. I am so glad I had the opportunity to learn so much from her for the past 3 years. She was always positive and happy to see you. Her presence around the office and in our lives will be severely missed. To Scott & Andrew, I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the pain you must feel. Even though I only knew her a limited amount of time, she has made an incredible impact on my life.
