Holly Anne Evans who left us on 31st January 2007, aged 18 years old.
She was a childcare student at GLOSCAT in Cheltenham and had recently moved into a shared student house where she was just beginning to live life to the full.
She leaves behind a brother, Joseph who was born April 1990, whom she was incredibly close to. Also myself Emma (mum), grandparents: Elizabeth, Michel and Norman, and great-grandmother, Peggy.
Holly had suffered with asthma since she was 8 months old and spent a lot of her childhood in and out of hospital due to severe attacks, but her attack usually took a few hours to 'come on', unfortunately the doctors say that this attack killed her within seconds and even a passing, off-duty nurse, could not save her.
At least she did not suffer, it was over very quickly for her, and I am so grateful that she would not have felt any fear or pain.
Holly was a beautiful, sensitive, happy and a typically dizzy teenager, who was loved by everyone who met her. Her sense of fun was infectious and her love and compassion always shone through even when she was having a tough time.
Over 300 were at her funeral at Glyntaf Cremetorium, Pontypridd, many friends from the two colleges she attended (Coleg Morgannwg, South Wales and GLOSCAT, Cheltenham) and from her old school, St John the Baptist, Aberdare.
She was also a beautiful singer and we played a recording of her singing Evanecences ' Bring me to Life' (turn up your sound, as the recording is playing in the background now). She was also an amazing writer and artist and had almost finished her first novel. Because Holly was allergic to flowers we asked everyone to bring a teddy. These were later donated to the children's ward at The Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Llantrisant, S. Wales where she spent a lot of time.
I now feel that Holly was not meant to 'grow up' and now she will be forever young and free from the ailments that plagued her in life, until we meet again, Good Night, and God Bless - Darling Holly XXX
All friends of Holly please post any photos you may have of her, thanks
Holly's funeral was conducted by Fr. Paul Bennett.
Fr. Paul was murdered exactly 6 weeks after Holly's death. Emma and Joe extend their sincerest condolences to Fr. Pau's family and would encourage all visitors to this page, to visit his (also featured on this site).
He was a very well loved man by Christians and non-Christians alike.

I’ve been sitting in front of my laptop for hours trying to come up with the appropriate words to describe Holly and the way I’m feeling but, to be honest, there aren’t any. There are so many memories and so many things that I wish I could say to her and everybody that knew her, that this little box just doesn’t seem big enough. I loved Holly with all my heart. More than any boyfriend, friend and perhaps even David Tennant! (Only just though!) She was one in a million, completely unique, and I miss her every second of every day.
It’s not fair that Holly’s gone. But she was never meant to grow up. I know that now. She was always a kid and I guess that’s how things were meant to stay.
I treasure every single moment I had with her, both good and bad, and I feel honoured to have met such an amazing girl like Holly.
And I think in an appropriate way, I’m ending in a way that me and her always did:
Have you met the French?! My God, the know how to party!!!!
Till we meet again.

Laura u were agreat friend to holly do not regret anything, what ever happened everything is forgiven, she is watching over u luv emma xxxxxx
RIP HOLLY no one can understand y u got taken so soon, I'm sorry bout all the pain we caused and the fact that we never had the time to put things rite. but i know when the time comes for us to meet again, It'll b like nothing had changed, I hope u are looking down on us, counting down the days till we can reminisce aboutt he good old days, the days that i think about every day, all those laughs and experiences. Listening to you sing in music was incredible. Wish could turn back time as save even more memories. Until we meet again, these ones will stay forever
Miss u xxxxxxxx
rip holly
A cloudless blue sky
Reminds me of you.
Birds twittering in the tree tops
A bright full moon
The smell of the forest
Reminds me of you.
The gleaming of Lake Hopatcong
Reminds me of you.
The taste of steak and macaroni and cheese
The feel of the sun beating down on my face
The sound of music
Reminds me of you.
Looking at my own brown eyes
Reminds me of you.
Brightly colored flowers
How I feel when people laugh
Mr beautiful son, Nicholas
Reminds me of you.
The wind in my hair
Reminds me of you.
The scent of a rose
The sound of a flowing creek
And the whisper my heart makes
Reminds me of you.
But the dreams I see slowly coming true,
Do not remind me of you.
They are because of you!
Holls was a best mate of mine, really miss her and the place isnt the same without her. She was the best pal anyone could ever wish for,always making me laugh, and taking care of me, I take this opportunity to send my deepest sympathy to Em, Bryn and Jo.
From one heartbroken mum to another.XXX
Please, don't ask me if I'm over it yet.
I'll never be over it.
Please, don't tell me she's in a better place.
She isn’t here with me.
Please, don't say at least she isn't suffering.
I haven't come to terms with why she had to suffer at all.
Please, don't tell me you know how I feel.
Unless you have lost a child.
Please, don't ask me if I feel better.
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up.
Please, don't tell me at least you had her for 18 years.
What year would you choose for your child to die?
Please, don't tell me God never gives us more than we can bear. Please, just say you are sorry. Please, just say you remember my child, if you do.
Please, just let me talk about my child.
Please, mention my child’s name.
Please, just let me cry.
