May the Lord have mercy on her soul.

Sincere condolences to the family of Dan.

I, and perhaps many others here, feel as we know the family from reading most of Dan's earlier writings from the days of paper.

Sincere condolences to Team Holohan.
@Erin Holohan Haskell You did a great job writing the Obit. I liked the part about "finding great buys on gifts". Reminded me of my Mother.
Your Mother's lessons and examples live on with You, Dan, your Sister's and your extended family. Best wishes to you all as you process your grief, and celebrate her life.

We are so sorrowful on the news of the departed Marianne . I cant believe how difficult it is to bear this situation . Please accept our deepest and heartfelt condolences . I wish God keep her soul as His own .

Dear Dan , our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your precious family and that is all we could do that because of distance . Surely , my words can not express our feelings but we heartily are sorrow upon the news . May her soul rest in peace .


Indeed, there are many lovely people there to take part in the funeral ceremony and their presence alleviates the situation.


Stay safe ,

your friend

Hi Erin, your mom will always be in my thoughts not just for the support and soul she brought to the ethos of Holohan & Co. but for the amazing family she loved, cared for and counselled along the way...what a great legacy she has in you and your siblings. Over the days ahead, I will be thinking of you and all who knew and loved her. I've sent your dad my thoughts and ask that you pass on a hug. One can never have too many hugs, kindest regards, Robert Bean

So sorry for this news. Here is a poem which gives some comfort on these occasions:


Death is nothing at All — Canon Henry Scott-Holland, UK, 1847-1918

Death is nothing at all.

I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.

All is well.

by Canon Henry Scott-Holland, 1847-1918, Canon of St Paul’s Cathedral
From ‘The King of Terrors’, a sermon on death delivered in St Paul’s Cathedral on Whitsunday 1910, while the body of King Edward VII was lying in state at Westminster: published in Facts of the Faith, 1919.

I am very sad to hear of your loss. My deepest condolences to all of you.

Sorry for your loss to the entire Holohan team. 

 I had the pleasure of meeting The Lovely Marianne at a few seminars many years ago.  In these brief encounters I saw a polished, soft spoken and professional wife/mother.  I always suspected TLM was the quiet one while Dan might be the opposite.

Years later I learned just how involved TLM was in the business side of things.  I also learned that TLM was pretty good a juggling being a wife, mother to four daughters, and a caregiver to a special person.   I'm guessing in more recent times much of her attention was given to the grandchildren.  

May The Lovely Marianne rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. When you wrote about her, it was always with respect, affection and tenderness. Just the way it should be for your life's partner.
May your wonderful memories of her give you comfort in the weeks and months ahead.

Dan, Erin and all your family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much she will be missed just from the numerous affectionate posts I have seen over the last 2 decades or so. Peace to all of you and hope her memory is enough comfort for you all.

I'm very sorry for your loss. From what I've read here she seemed to be a wonderful woman, wife, and mother.

I’m so sorry for your loss. The whole of heatinghelp from its inception carries Marianne’s imprint implicitly. Through Dan’s stories, through the seminars and online store– in every way there’s her spirit. 

For heatinghelp and those of us you’ve invited into your extended family, there’s sorrow and also celebration of her life; but for Dan, Erin, and all the others in your close family, I have nothing adequate to say to allay your grief at this moment but to say that her love and your love in return will carry on. 

God Bless.

@Erin Holohan Haskell and @DanHolohan , just had a thought- I know I have some pictures from various gatherings over the years that TLM is in, and I'd bet mine aren't the only ones- if it's OK with you all, how about we post some of them?

Missing TLM. We all had such great times together. My wife and I talk about her all the time. A ray of sunshine - she was. Dan and her were the A Team. Thinking and praying for all The Holohan Clan. Mad Dog
