THIS WAS WRITTEN FOR THE MEMORIAL SERVICE, JUST DIDN'T MAKE IT...
I'VE AVOIDED TRYING TO WRITE THIS, AS I CAN'T BELIEVE, ANY MORE
THAN YOU CAN, THAT I SHOULD BE DOING THIS
I REMEMBER, BEFORE FORMALLY MEETING HOLLY, SEEING HER AT
PATERSON'S - THINKING SHE LOOKED SO MUCH LIKE MIA FARROW,
WITH THE ACTIONS, AT TIMES, OF MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN...
HER AUORA WAS AMAZING... SHE MADE ME SMILE WITH SOME
CURIOSITY... HOW LOVELY IT WAS THAT WE BECAME FRIENDS.
WE TALKED ABOUT SO MANY THINGS - SHE WAS ALWAYS SO BUSY WITH
LIFE EXPERIENCES THAT WERE SO UNIQUE TO THE AVERAGE
SAUSALITIAN... GOING FROM PATERSON'S TO NO NAME WAS NOTHING
FOR HER... HOWEVER, WE PUT HER TO A REAL CHALLENGE - TAKING
HER FROM BEING BURIED IN THE CROSSWORD PUZZLES TO LIARS DICE
WITH LIVE LYING CHARACTERS! SHE LOVED IT - AND NOW AND THEN,
SHE PROUDLY WON 4 OR 5 DOLLARS IN A 3 HOUR GAME!! DID I STOP?
NO, NO, NO... I WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THE FOOTBALL POOL TO HER...
SHE STUDIED, SHE ABANDONED THE CROSSWORD PUZZLE FOR THE
SPORTS SECTION... SHE LOVED IT - AND LAST YEAR SHE ENDED UP
WINNING! OH WAS SHE PROUD AND DESERVEDLY BEAMING...
HER INTERESTS AND TRAVELS WERE FAR GREATER THAN MINE, BUT HER
HUMOR WAS ONE THAT KEPT OUR FRIENDSHIP SPECIAL. FOR A WHILE
THERE, SHE WAS MY BEST DATE AND I WAS HERS. BEING MALE-
DATELESS MEANT EITHER ONE OF US COULD LEAVE WHENEVER, SHE
COULD DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY WHILE I HUNG AT THE BAR WITH
WHOEVER, AND NO MATTER WHAT, WE'D HAVE LOTS OF FUN - GUILT
FREE! SHE LOVED HAVING FUN.
MY FRIEND, OUR FRIEND, WAS PASSIONATE AND LOVING LIFE. SHE
WAS SO PROUD TO TALK ABOUT TAMARA, BLAIR, MIRANDA, LUCY AND
RYAN... YOU MADE HER SMILE EVERY DAY OF HER LIFE - AND SOME OF
THE STORIES MADE US SMILE AS WELL!
CHEERS HOLLY....
Terry, Thank you for sharing this with everyone. I appreciated the reminder of her bday, as I try to remember someone's birth rather than when they leave us. I still have a few emails from her that I am loathe to delete. Her vibrancy lives on...
