Karl, my deepest sympathy goes out to you. I remember when I ran into you and Holly and your being so proud to introduce her. I think Barb and I may have been at your wedding if I remember correctly - New London? I will be thinking of you in your loss. May life get lighter for you as time goes on. - your FVTC Teacher of years ago.
Hooly Holy Holly was my nickname for her. It's funny how you can love someone you never met in real life. I always said that I would love to meet her and Karl, but that day never came. It is my sincere hope that her family and friends find some comfort in the fact that she is no longer in pain or discomfort. Yes, Hooly, Holy, Holly you will be missed by me and many others. I love ya girl. RIP my sweet friend.
Growing up in the Lund family, we were blessed with Holly's frequent visits to our home. She graced us with her adorable personality, her curious nature, and her constant show of affection. Whenever she was in Milwaukee, she was my little shadow, and she followed me wherever I went. I loved spending as much time with her as I could!
One particular time that is forever etched in my heart and my mind is on the day of Mark's and my wedding in 1980. At our reception, Holly was right there by our side celebrating with us, participating in the festivities of the day, and snuggling close by my side whenever she had the chance. And, once again, I loved every moment!
I will cherish these memories forever, Holly! Rest in peace, my sweet cousin! I love you.

Holly came over to our house quite a few times when we were kids to hang out with my sister Jen. She was always a sweet, lovable person and the earth has truly lost a good soul.
A Family Memory: In August, 1979, our grandparents, Gerald O. and Eloise Cerney, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with family and friends at Holy Mass. Holly, the youngest grandchild, and I, the eldest grandchild, were asked to deliver the offertory gifts to the priest at the altar. Holly, at that young age, was shy about walking up the church aisle in front of all those people, so Mom Bonnie walked along with us. This is a memory I think of and talk about often. Rest In Peace, young cousin.
