Holly lived hard & died young. I saw her at a party a few years after high school. I ran w/ a pretty rough crew back then. We knew each other & didn't exchange a single word. Sad that she never got out of the life.
Holly was in my Spanish class with Mr Gabino. She was always playing the tough girl but I could see the soft side of Holly. She did get in with a rough group and never broke free. When I heard of her death it brought tears to my eyes. Now as a parent and grandfather to 5 precious grandchildren it is so important that we know who our kids are hanging out with. And yes we have a say in who they are choosing for friends. We may not be popular for a period of time with our kids but it is so important. i am glad I could talk about Holly as it has been been on my heart for Many years. So sorry that we never saw The soft side of Holly she would have been a special person.
I think Holly was the first person after NHS graduation who I discovered had died. My mother told me & I was shocked by what she said. Her family was in the clothes cleaning business, I think; if you saw pink trucks w the name Holly Cleaners, driving around Needham, the business was named for her. She was loved, but had a tragic life and death. I hope she was able to find some peace somewhere, somehow, during her short life.
