I met Holly at bingo and for a short time knowing her I enjoyed her company. Her last months we knew she was sick but she never talked about her sickness. May her gentle soul rest in peace. Marie Power.

Our sincerest condolences to Randy and family. We only knew Holly a short time – we sat together at BIngo. She was a beautiful, kind lady who we felt we knew a lifetime. We had many laughs together while playing bingo. Heaven has gained another angel – rip sweet lady.

Please accept my sincere condolences on Holly’s passing. I only met her at bingo a couple of years ago but felt I knew her forever. She spoke so highly of her family. It was indeed a pleasure to be in her company. We already miss her.

To Glenn and Karen, we were very sorry to hear about Holly. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed greatly. We have chosen to donate to the Cochrane United Church in her memory.

Trevor and I are so very sad to hear that your precious Holly has left this world. She’s a beautiful angel now and passed into heaven surrounded by those who love her ???? She fought her cancer and was a winner! There are no lost battles for this horrible disease. She fought everyday and won every day that she lived since her diagnosis. She was and will always remain a Warrior and Winner!
If you haven’t watched the movie The Shack- in time you might want to do so. You’ll find strength and peace there. It might help the boys too… it did Travis.
Randy I remember your kind heart…. I’m sure it feels full of pain right now. We are so sorry ???? You will meet again. Watch for the beautiful signs that Holly will send you all. She’s close. Just beyond the veil. Not far. Geoff and Jamie, we pray that you can find some comfort in knowing she’s with so many that have passed into heaven before her. Hugs to all of you ❤️ Reality though….There are really no words. It’s just too soon. And that’s the hardest part. Sadly we understand. We hope that you find air to breathe through the grief waves…. and the reality waves….. and that in time they get weaker. They can be so hard. Breathe. God bless you all.

All our love
deepest condolences,
Tania and Trevor Fraize xo

Life in our neighborhood will never be the same due to the passing of our dear neighbor and friend Holly. The many meals and laughs shared at each other homes will never be forgotten. Her great sense of humour and love of gardening created a special bond within our circle of friends. There is a saying that death is like a ship disappearing on the horizon and while she is gone from our sight she will always remain in our hearts.

To Randy and family,
Sorry to hear of Holly’s Passing. May God comfort you and your family in these days.
Peter Tansley
