"Dear Holly,

I just wanted you to know it's going to be hard to walk this journey without you. I now know you are my rock and I am finding out you are everybody else's rock as well.  Everybody misses you and loves you as much as I do.  You left me too early in life. I know how strong, and compassionate you are to family and friends.  At this time I just want to let you know you touched so many people's lives. I just want to say thank you.

Sincerely,

Your loving Husband."
