Re: [nysbirds-l] Holly Wilson, 1986-2017
I am still in disbelief days after learning about Holly. I will always remember
her radiant smile and spirited ways during the days of sharing a Margarita at
Cupsogue.
My heartfelt condolences to the entire family on such a tragic loss. Holly was
a sweet, spirited soul who will be missed.
This has been hard to process.
