Hollis Family,

No words can take away the pain of your loss. Debbie had a great personality and a bright smile. I will miss her smile that greeted me each time I transported her to and from dialysis. She always made me feel special, because she was so special.

Dee, David, & Cathi, I am so sorry to hear about Debi. She was a beautiful young lady, and a loving daughter. Her father, Bud Hollis, delighted in her singing to him and writing her wonderful poems and books. I know she is with Bud now. I can imagine them in heaven singing and dancing. I know they are both in peace. I want You to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending comforting prayers to you all. Debi was sweet and so talented as a young girl. We wrote songs and poems, loved the fair and Dark Shadows, so enjoyed swimming at our house and playing chase with David and we made many a fine meal out of whatever was available at either house! I have fond memories of all of you. Love, Pamela Hicks Schooler
