Holly Barrett

She was a very caring lady that enjoyed spending her time in the yard, at work with friends, and especially her family. I have known her all my life and always thought of her as my "mother" and she always said that I was the daughter she never had. I have so many memories that I will keep dear to my heart. May she rest in peace and walk beside the Lord in Heaven!
