She was also known for her infectious and very loud laugh which I, her daughter, have apparently inherited. She was the light of my life and my saving grace if ever I was in crisis or simply in need. She obviously adored her grandchildren dearly because everywhere she went she had at least 100 pictures of them with her! I will miss her deeply and cannot wait to see her again one day. She is survived by her daughter, Crystal Goddard and husband, Heath of McKinney, Texas; grandchildren, Ava Goddard and Kennedy Goddard; parents, Denver and Betty Cearley of McKinney, Texas; brother, Kurt Cearley of San Antonio, Texas; sister, Kay Cearley also of McKinney, Texas; and a host of other loving family and friends.

I loved Holly like a sister I always wanted but never had. We shared our love for Jesus with each other. You have left a footprint on my heart Holly, I will miss you so....Be free BFF, until I see you again in the arms of Jesus!! I love ya girl!!! Your BFF, Kristin KRISTIN WATSON, JUNE 4, 2013 Holly was one of the most influential people in my life and played an integral part in my healing and change of heart. I will be forever grateful for her life and all that she has left me with in my mind, heart and spirit. I am so thankful that Holly got to hear my testimony in late 2011. Here is an excerpt from my testimony: "Eventually, Holly Hart came to the CR program and took over as the leader of my step study group. Holly was like a beacon in the storm to me, and I experienced God through her. Psalm 6:2-3 says, “Have compassion on me Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my body is in agony. I am sick at heart.” I prayed, Lord, I am miserable in my situation. But whether you deliver me or not, please don’t let me miss the lessons. I wanted to deal with my past so it could no longer control me." God bless you, Holly and thank you for the way you chose to live your life. LYNNE KOVAL, JUNE 2, 2013 This is a story of warrior that battled demons of the dark throughout her entire life. This warrior was not covered in armor or weal ding a weapon of any kind, she fought the darkness with only the bright light of her heart. Engaged in a 24 hr daily struggle with acceptance and purpose, she fought hand in hand with with the source of all creation, she once was a lost soul just as many of us have been, but she found the strength to pick up the pieces and fight back, taking not only her life back but found a way to lead the others around her out of the darkness as well. As with any true warrior she never ask for any thing from those whom she lead, she only ask them to respect the process and to carry the message that the darkness was not going to win, that it would not have power here in her circle anymore. For at least 10 years she fought this war with an unyielding strength, a driven purpose and a pure heart. It is unclear just how many people she has saved or touched but its crystal clear that she changed the world around her. As you must now know this warrior was my aunt Holly Hart, SHe has been both an inspiration and a teacher to me in my own struggle with darkness. When i was at one of my darkest hour she continually would shine her light down on me and with a soft whisper she would call my name and say its not far now just head for my voice and walk in the light. I am so grateful for her voice in my head, even with her death it has not left nor will it i ever forget what she has done , where she came from , how she fulfilled her shortcomings and moved forward in life with a positive attitude and loving nature. Holly you will be missed but i promise not forgot. This is a poem i wrote about a year ago i would like to share because it was your voice that inspired its creation. It was a sunday night and a hard rain was coming, the sky was dark but for the flashes of lighting and in the distance you could hear thunder roll. I slowly open the letter form my long lost friend. It had been settled among a group of many envelopes as i had been on a journey life long in the bitter cold of of a far off dark place ,{ok} slowly i opened the pages and a smile crossed my face. It was from my from my young butterfly ,whom had also been on a life changing path, the kind that only the caterpillars are able to follow. As i turn the pages i am struck with the realization that my butterfly is growing and changing. No i can't see inside the cocoon she has woven but, i see the movements and hear the sounds that tell me it wont be long till this new changed beautiful creature arrives. Although as i turn my head from the corner of my eye, I see a cryptic message written in a filmier language on the wall of her deep sorrow. I am alarmed by the {MASKED INTRUDER}.... She is calling for help only i am not near, she is screaming out her pain and oooo how i can feel... she is being held captive in a dark, forbidden place. This intruder he has his entangled himself and he his strong not easily will he turn loose, whats worse is the pleasure he has given, leaving her confused and weak to make her move. The tears flow from my heart as i know his lustful grip, the symbols tell me she can never part ,{ now this i must prevent...}He tells her he gives her life and she can never run,{ "Dear butterfly if you can hear me you HAVE to RUN. This snake whom has entangled you he has no arms to speak of, he twists and turns and holds you tight removes the breath from your lungs, he holds you down and makes you think you can not escape, but hear me LOUD he is just a snake! his only grip it twisted lies he really has hands on you, NO grip at all to speak of... Center , focus, use your mind to tell yourself that you are well equipped. Do not listen dear butterfly to the lies this one weaves , telling you he will be with you, no matter what's to come... "Dear butterfly the light is dim only because of this cocoon you are in, don't think yourself one of them....." } You are beautiful ,you are smart, you are kind, and you are art... still being molded from day to day, soft and tender in the hands of your sculpture whom ever that may be. Listen butterfly listen to me....that hole it is in all hearts, in all souls, the need to be love and accepted just as you are today, not needing change or reformation in any way... I love you just as you are, no need to go to any other place..... acceptance is what you need? I have reserved it just for you. Now is the time to look within. it is all inside, you hold the lock as well the key... Forgiveness its for you , not a thing you can give ,not something for another. THIS is how we move and grow and turn the page of life this is how YOU let Go. YOU ARE LOVED more than you can ever understand, Butterfly now is the time to spread your wings and take flight in the power of the light.
