Bart and Lynn Holaday
She did not simply visit this world, she made a difference. – Bart Holaday
I leave this life grateful and fulfilled. I am at peace; I am not afraid. – Lynn Buckingham Holaday
Life is this simple.
We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent
and God is shining through it all the time.
This is not just a fable or a nice story
It is true.
If we abandon ourselves to God
and forget ourselves,
we see it sometimes
and we see it maybe frequently.
God shows Godself everywhere,
In everything,
In people and in things and in nature and in events.
It becomes very obvious that God is everywhere and
in everything and we cannot be without God.
It is impossible.
The only thing is that we don't see it.
- Thomas Merton

Lynn has inspired me to do things I never would have imagined doing. I miss her greatly, she will always play an enormous role in my becoming of a young woman.
Ah, Lauren – I think you said it so well: Lynn was such an inspiration and ‘encourager’ to everyone she encountered. Thank you for writing about her influence on your life (I tend to think she will be following your ‘becoming’ . . .).
