Holly was such a wonderful teacher to me at Maria College. I attended Maria College on the weekend program and she was helpful to me back in 1995. I am just now hearing of this sad news. I've thought of her often over the years. She was my inspiration to continue my education at St. Rose. I am now 52 years old and a 5th grade teacher. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so saddened to hear about this. Holly was my favorite professor at Maria College. She made my experience there, wonderful. Holly was understanding, soft spoken and a gentle woman who was a great teacher. I think back to my time at Maria College and remember Holly very fondly. My condolences to Holly's daughters whom she would always speak of, her husband, and family. My prayers are with you.

My sincere sympathies to all of Holly's family. She was a lovely person. I am a former student of hers from Maria College. I had no idea that she had passed until I received an announcement in the mail from the college. I want you to know how fondly I remember her...even after so many years. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I know from her many stories how much her family meant to her, and hope you find solace in the love she had for all of you.

I am so shocked and saddened by this news. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. I was a student in Ms. West's Interpersonal Relations class and she was always so well prepared for class, and had so much great information to relay to her students. Her class was one of the most fun and memorable I had at Maria. She was able to quickly connect with students, and I felt like I could trust her with some of my most painful memories. Her class and her encouragement helped me to heal. She will be SO missed!

Holly was a neighbor who extended herself through her friendship and compassion. I will remember her beautiful smile and the graceful way she had about her, and I will miss our chats about our small dogs and neighborhood news. She was a gift to us all in our circle at Cobble Court.
My thoughts go to Ron during this time of loss, with hopes that he keep the joyful memories in his heart and allow the passage of time to heal.
