Condolences for the family of “Donna Holloway”

Condolence from Cheryl Peluso on November 15th, 2014 4:15 pm

(My baby sister. I cannot fathom the thought that I will never see you again on this earth.
But I will see you again. )

I never told my sister I love her enough. Please let the people you love know it often!
What I remember most about her is that , like our Dad, she had such a big heart. She
wanted to please everyone, to care for everyone. And she was a wonderful daughter
to our parents. I will always love and miss her. There is a huge hole in my heart.

Condolence from Clay Holloway on November 15th, 2014 10:24 pm

Donna,
I love and miss you…. You were so caring and nurturing for everyone in your life. I will never forget your selflessness and how you wanted nothing materialistic but would rather delight in giving to others.
You were a wonderful sister and friend to your baby brother….

I love you, Donna.
Clay

Just hard to believe that she is gone. Donna was a great caretaker to my father, a great protector to my mom, just a great daughter. She was equally a great sister. She was kind and caring. She has left us way too soon. I will miss her dearly.

Condolence from Mary Holloway on November 16th, 2014 12:51 am

Donna was a kind and giving soul. She was always a good sister-in-law to me. I am going to miss her. I hope that all the love here went with her and that she is having a joyous reunion with her daddy who she cared for and loved very much. You will always be in our hearts!

Donna was a loving person. She loved her Daddy so much and took such good care of him. She was a wonderful daughter to her Mother always trying to look after her and wanting to be with her all of the time.She has left this world way too soon.She still had a lot she wanted to do. But she is at peace now a peace that can only come from God. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.God bless all of her family. I love all of you.

Condolence from Elizabeth Holloway on November 16th, 2014 1:51 am

Donna,
I did not want to let go of you but God has a plan and I cannot question him.
I know God will take good care of you and your Daddy is waiting for you to arrive. You will
be at peace, no more pain. I will always miss you , my sweet Donna. Someday we will be together again.

God, thank you for lending this sweet little soul to me. Thank you for the time you allowed me to have her. Please take care of my baby girl.

Elizabeth Holloway
(Donna’s Mom)

My baby sister passed away on Wednesday, November12th, after being home only 5 months from Rehab. She was the most kind hearted person, she loved my mamma and daddy with all heart. she took excellent of the both of them and missed my daddy so much after his death. She tried so hard, life was always so difficult, such a struggle, I would give anything to have seen her, I talked to her all the time, I always told her I loved her and I could not wait to see her. You may have lost the fight, sis, I,always prayed that one day you would once again find peace in your life so that you could be happy, truly happy without the turmoil and addiction. You will finally be at,peace, but you will missed by so many, many friends and family, you will be with Daddy now, Sweetie, and you will no longer have a broken heart. I love you, I love you, I love you.

Condolence from Stella Collins on November 19th, 2014 8:53 am

My dear sweet Donna. It’s so hard to believe you are gone. So hard to think that we will never share another cup of coffee while I laugh at you spilling it everywhere because you won’t tell them to leave room in the cup because you like so much cream. I have so many memories of you Donna. You were my sister. We raised our babies together. We were there for each other in good times and in bad. Even when things were tough for both of us at least we had each other. I always felt a calm peace with you. We shared our burdens and held each other though many, many tears. Thankfully there was just as much fun and laughter. I will see you again baby and we will drink coffee in the clouds with the angels. I love you Donna… My sweet Angel.

Condolence from Cheryl Peluso on December 4th, 2014 1:36 am

Donna,
I still cannot believe you are gone. In my mind, you are still here somewhere. Darlin,
your service was so beautiful! We had it in Stillmore and so many people showed up.
It warmed my heart to know so many people love you. We put you in the ground right next to our Daddy. Now you and him and Jared are all up there with God taking care of each other and watching over us. This is the Christmas season, and it just seems like you should be celebrating it with us. But you are with God now. I wish things could have been different for you , and I miss you so much. You will always, always be in my heart! I love you so much. I am saying goodnight to you tonight , hoping that it will seem more real. I can never say goodbye. I know it takes time. I love you sweet girl!
