The family would like to personally thank their family and friends, Carson City First Responders, the Emergency Room and Intensive Care Staff at Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center, Walton’s Funeral Home, and St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church for their care and support during this difficult time.
Holly was one of the most kind and thoughtful people you would ever meet. She is dearly loved and missed. Holly lived to love and loved to live.
