Hollie.... This sucks. I know we weren't close. I understand and respect that you felt a certain way because I was another woman in your babies lives. But I always admired you.

Hollie...I love the spitfire out of these babies! I'm learning SO much about you through Cayden and Ireland. Not just stories, which they share so freely but through their little personalities. Your babies are doing SO good. You would be SO proud of them, Hollie!

I promise your babies are being VERY well taken care of. But you know that...we know you're watching over everyone❤

Your babies miss you. We all miss you. I wish I would've taken the time to try to be friends with you. I'm sorry I never knew HOW to. Please forgive me?

Your babies carry their necklaces with them everywhere and Cayden still speaks as if you are here...because we know you are. You'll ALWAYS be with us, Hollie.

I promise I will NEVER let your memory fade from their little hearts. We Will ALWAYS keep YOUR memories alive.

All the kiddos still get together and go hang out and spend the weekends together at Gramma B's. We WILL continue to keep all your babies connected with one another. As a Mama, I understand how important that was to you. They are safe and they are so VERY much loved. I'm NOT trying to replace you...but I am trying to be SOMEBODY for your babies. I promise to ALWAYS love them and take care of them as my own.

You are SO very missed, pretty girl. And your babies love you SO much.

Keep watching over us, Mama!! Continue to rest in paradise sweet girl...until we all meet again...

With the most heartfelt love and sincerest of condolences to your family.... You can rest easy, Mama. I'll pick up where you left off and just hope and pray that you'll be proud of me.

With all my love, Amber

Friends come and go in our lives but true friends stay in our hearts. Hollie was one of those friends. I have so many treasured memories of our friendship that I can't believe its been over 20 years since High School. Playing softball was always more about the fun we had together than winning...although, we won quite a bit! I remember driving around in our car with my sister in the driver's seat, me in the passenger and Hollie smack dab in the middle because none of us wanted to sit in the back. I thought it was so we could talk but I think Hollie wanted control of the radio. I remember going to football games and hardly being able to sit and watch the game because we had to go around and say hi to EVERYONE she knew. Our lives took different paths as I moved away and we maybe saw or personally messaged each other a handful of times over the years (other than "liking" each other's fb posts) but I can still clearly hear her laugh, see her smile and remember her silliness as if it was yesterday. My deepest, heartfelt condolences to Hollie's family and minis. She was definitely one in a million!

There was never a dull moment around Hollie, and she never failed to make me laugh and smile. We worked together back in the day at good ol' D&W - was that really more than 20 years ago? I smile now when I see Cain and Skylar at Martins just like you did!! I am thankful that our lives crossed again when we reacquainted as parents here in Bridgman. I loved being a "sports mom" with Hollie, where we cheered on our children from the stands, and worked together for countless behind the scenes dinners and such for the kids and their teams, especially football for Logan. I am privileged to know her children through teaching Cayden, through Logan and Skylar's sporting events, with Cayden and Alex being friends and classmates and as my years in Cain, Skylar, and Logan's classrooms as the school counselor. The light of Hollie's life and so beautifully obvious to anyone who met her was the love she had for her children. I never knew her to miss any of their events. She lives on in each of them with her generosity, spunk, beauty, selflessness and love of life. It is with such a sad and heavy heart that I think about how many times I will miss you when this crazy world reopens, but I know you will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace, my friend.
