Saddened at a Senseless Crime

Alex Burford (Nov 26, 2008)

When I heard about Holly, I asked, "Why is this happening again? Does someone hate Women that much?"
I didn't know Holly, but I was Army from 1978 to 1984 and I still feel a sense of Family with the Troops.
Holly's passing saddens me greatly, but I Hope and Believe that She is in a Better Place now and is probably helping Megan Touma and Maria Lauterbach to be Good Mother's to Their Children who passed on with them.
God Blees Holly, Megan and Maria. America's Best!!!

Holley was beautiful

Caring Person (Nov 26, 2008)

I think that it is a true shame that mother and son airing their dirty laundry on this site. Holley was a beautiful girl. She was still very yound and had a lot of growing still to do. She of course had made some unwise decisions in her life, but haven't we all?

Of course she loved her children and to air the laundry about her children and their father is too much. Holley and Steve may be went their separate ways, but they would always be bonded by their children.

Please stop plastering her private life out on the internet for everyone to read. Do you really think that this is what she would want? Holley portrayed herself as very happy and lovable, do you think that she would really want anyone with a computer to know the most personal parts of her life. Some day her children may google their mothers name and this is the type of thing they will read. How sad for them.

STOP IT! Show love for your sister and your daughter.

No one is allowed to judge anyone elses grieving process.

Celebrating Holley's Birthday 12-12-83

MOM Julie James (Nov 17, 2008)

Holley your birthday is on its way- December 12th- they've already played the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas"- a little early this year considering that's what was playing when you were born way back in '83. Kendal posed for this picture just for you- she is her mother made over and your legacy to life, strength and endurance. We love you Holley- smile upon us as we seek guidance from God to continue to deliver the message that your final cry was not in vain to End Domestic Violence and that we continue to support and Honor Soldiers and their families. Were decorating a special tree this year in your honor but the Grinch wont be visiting this Whoville- this year. Sending Silver & Gold Sparkles up to you in heaven- each glitters with love from your mom, Steve, Tre, & Kendal

Your Mother Misses You

MOM Julie James (Nov 07, 2008)

My Dearest Holley,
As the tears consume what's left of my heart, I 'm lifted only that I feel your presence in spirit and strong determination comforting my soul as best an angel from the heavens can. I'm saddened unimaginably with the grief of my loss, and that any "hope" of love, laughter, and future shall be for us in this world. Time does not heal all wounds, and those that we manage to live through bare scars of epic purportion.. I know you were crying out to me on that horrible night they murdered you- I left work early- sickend and tormented by nothing that could be explainable except for the inner cognition of mother's when they sense the cries of their child in pain- crying out for their mother to save them, and I'm sorry my baby, I couldnt stop the horror, the pain, or their cruelty .as they took the very life from your body. There are many things I can not change -from the past, nor ever in the future....but I promise you, Holley, I have always loved you and that will never change. Your father, himself, will someday have to face and come to terms with his own mis-steps about you and concerning you- the choices of your life as well as the manner and manipulation that he has laid you to rest. If it had not been for your strong spirit, and the unbreakable bond that God secures mother and child with at birth, your real passion and love for Steve, Tre, Kendal and me, would have gone unnoticed and unrecognized in the fairy tale ending that fast cars and cell phones were the only meaning and all consuming dreams you had for your time here on earth -according to life with father.. Those that truly knew you, and loved you, saw not only the flaws we all carry but the remarkable strength and kindness that maturity had begun to share with this world, I know you'll understand that I will not visit you by graveside, as your heart and soul is not there but I carry you in my heart and spirit and as you see me from above- I shall honor and recognize you in all ways that are true of Holley's Heart and Holley's Strength & Determination. Pray for us Holley- were in a period of painful change not only as a family but as a nation. May God have Mercy on All of Us. AMEN

Dear Beaux, This is a site for each and every memory and expression for all people who loved Holley. You have not been assigned as the keeper of all hearts and souls. You may be my son, and yes, I raised both you and Holley without the assistance of Kandi- who has never changed your diaper or had to drag you down from a tree, or even pick you up in kindergarden when you were expelled. I understand your defensiveness however being a father, a marine, and a husband it is now your time to become a mature and respectful man whether you like or agree with what person has chosen to make an entry in honor of Holley. If you have a personal issue with me- then you should confront me personally or if you would like in the presence of your father and we will sort out truths and deception that you apparently have not been able to grasp at this time. I pray for you Beaux, that time will give you the maturity required to be a good and honorable man- not the childish boy that wrote about things he truly does not understand. about his mother and his father's prior relationship

This is holley's brother. The women (julie) who wrote that long letter on here lied. What she said was not true and it should not be on here. Holley did not like julie at all. Julie always treated her so badly. I love my sister very much and i dont want such disrespect from julie on holleys name. Julie is a con artist and holley wanted nothing to do with her or steve. Holley loved her new life that had her father jesse james and her brother me (jesse james) and her kids. holley wrote a letter to julie saying how badly she wanted julie to leave her alone. she never mailed it because holley is a mature women and nothing like julie. kandi james is holley's real mother. Kandi has treated holley with so much love and respect and holley loved kandi as her real mother. No one should ever listen to julie and her lies. My father loved holley with all is heart and still does and will forever. Never forget that. I love my sister with all my heart. I dont need to write a poem or story to tell the truth about holley and her family. everyone in their family has people that they dont like and julie is the one in our family. Please do not give credit to julie because julie was never in holleys life. Kandi and jesse were there for holley all the way. Thanks to all and we love you holley! this is our way of sticking up for holley since she is not able to do it herself.

My Memory

Shannon (Sep 07, 2008)

Holley was a wonderful person, she befriended everyone she met always laughing and smiling. I remember going out with her one night to a country bar, lol just for the fun of it. Holley was giggling about how the older women had their pants hiked up really high and how she hoped we didn't do that when we get old. LOL I miss her so much and Hollz I promise when I'm older I'll still wear hip huggers for ya! Miss you and your spirit.
Love always,
Shannon

celebrating life...everyday

Lindsey (Aug 12, 2008)

Holley was one of the most lively and uplifting people iIhave ever met. I first remember actually meeting her at her brothers wedding. The entire James family is full of angels and caring, kind hearted people. In this horrible time they are still trying to keep a positive outlook and they are maintaining the image of Holley we all know and love. The fact that she was the friendlest sweetest stranger you could meet for the first time as a friend. Her personality and personal strength will live on in the daily lives of her family and friends and in that of her two beautiful children. Holley your life was short., but its meaning was clear and powerful- live for each day, and make it worthwhile. You did this and i take it as my inspiration to do my best and to make the most. Thank you for all you have taught me. Love always

My Memory

Steve (Jul 31, 2008)

Holley, I have saved a place in my heart for you and will always go there while I am out cruising on my bike. It was hard leaving you at your final home but I know I can come there to visit you when ever I need to be near you again. It is a beautiful spot...I know you would love it.
Till we meet again, Steve

Shared Sorrow

Steve Harvey (Jul 27, 2008)

I had the honor of working in the office that commissioned (then) Holley James. Even though I didn't get to meet Holley personally I can say she left a profound and positive impression on the Soldiers who worked on her application. Her commitment to the service of this great nation will forever be a part of her legacy. We pray that the grace of God comfort all those who knew and loved Holley especially her precious child and her parents.

My Memory

Julia (Jul 25, 2008)

Holley was not my friend, but I wish she had been. She was my nurse after I gave birth to my first baby. You could immediately sense that she was that special type of person, a beaming girl who never met a stranger, someone I felt instantly comfortable with. We swapped jokes and chit chatted about babies and breastfeeding. She talked about her kids and calmed my fears as a first time mother. Holley was my kind of girl...fun, outgoing, and light hearted...I didn't know her well, but I did know that much. She was my favorite nurse, and I'm happy to say I told her so. She gave me a hug and said thank you. I'm sure I wasn't the only patient who ever felt that way about her, sadly, just one of the last. She was a blessing and I will never forget her. Before I left the hospital, I took her picture with my baby. It should be noted that in my 3 day stay, she was the one person I wanted a picture of, not because the other staff wasn't great, they were, but Holley was special.
