On the recordOctober 1, 2002
Our friend and distinguished colleague, Strom Thurmond, has a lost a dear member of his Senate Family. Holly Richardson's courageous battle with breast cancer ended early Monday morning. I do not use the word courageous lightly; if there ever was a courageous cancer patient, it was Holly Richardson. She fought until the end and never gave up. Holly was one of the most delightful people I have ever met. She was Strom Thurmond's right, hand lady for almost 25 years and she meant so much to the entire Thurmond family. Holly's strong faith helped her immeasurably and while we all mourn her passing, we know where she is. Her obituary in this morning's Columbia, SC, newspaper, The State, poignantly describes this remarkable lady, as does the article about her in today's Charlotte Observer.
