Holly Hume wrote a sympathy message

“She had the most purest and beautiful soul that had shined light to anyone that she interacted with. Her warming smile and comforting hugs could cure any bad day. With her books she gave me it changed my life. One was a memoir from a survivor from the Holocaust. Because of that book the following year I took a solo trip to German to visit the concentration Camp. She opened my life to the unimaginable. I will continue to travel in memory of her as I know that God has her as his beautiful Angel.”
