They grow richer through the years,
They are nurtured by our laughter,
They are watered by our tears.
Memories live forever,
Sent from Heaven up above

Dear Atkins Family,
I can’t beleive that my good friend Holly is not with us anymore. I will always remeber her phone calls every morning before school to see if the bus was coming. When the phone would ring, my mom would say, “Brooke, the phone, I’m sure it’s Holly.” Holly was always so worried about missing the bus. God is taking care of her now and what wonderful care she is receiving. I will always remember the good times I had with Holly on the bus and at school. Thank you for letting me share some time with her. My family is praying for you all and the God will carry you through.
Love,
Brooke Woolard

I was very saddened to hear of what happened to Holly and her friend. I taught Holly at Creeds Elementary in P.E. class. She was a very happy girl, always giving me a smile when she came in the gym. Now she’ll be sending smiles from heaven.
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. YOU DO NOT KNOW ME BUT I TOO HAVE LOST A CHILD AND I KNOW THE PAIN YOU ARE FEELING. LET GOD BE YOUR COMFORTER. MAY YOU AND THE FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE ARMS OF JESUS. YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY.
Our family will be keeping the Nosay and Lugar families in our prayers. We will add them to our church prayer list as well at River Oak Church.
Our love and prayers go with you from the members and friends of Blackwater Baptist Church, 6000 Blackwater Road.
Holly is remembered.
Our prayers are with you!
To Holly’s Family, I am so sorry about your loss. Having an 11 year daughter who also went to PAMS I can’t imagine your pain, but I can imagine a special little angel in heaven right now with her friend.
We live near Kayla, and even though they didn’t know us, Kayla and Holly always smiled and waved when we saw them, and our girls smiled and waved back.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, Kayla’s family, and all their beautiful young friends. God Bless!
We were so sorry to hear about your loss. I just want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always.
Love,

When hearts are filled with sorrow,there is little one can say.
For only time can comfort you when dear ones pass away —
So may the time be hastened until sorrow will depart
And Happy memories will live on within your heart
