    Holly and I were close. We dated last summer, and though for a short while with Holly it was like a lifetime. After we had broken up, it was like we never really broke up. Whenever she was in need she always called upon me. And though I wish she had of called me this last time, I'm not sure if anything would've been different. Looking back at my experience with Holly I can't help but see God's providence in our relationship. She came to baptism through knowing me, along with the help and encouragement from her father and dear friend Bill. At heart and soul she wanted to be baptized, but I guess never chose to do it until knowing me. She lived a troubled life, yes, but I know her death wasn't in vain. She passed at the dawn of Ash Wednesday entering the Lenten season. I have heard her soul, and she wants us all of us to live in peace knowing she is at peace now. It gives me joy to know all of her suffering and pain is over. She is in a better place watching over us. Let us go forth always knowing that, and she will be with us in spirit.
