What a blessing to have had her in your life for as long as you did. May she rest in peace.’ One fan, whose own mum recently died, commented: ‘Oh Cher, I am so sorry for your loss. You two were so much fun. Time doesn’t heal this wound, it helps reshape it into comforting memories that make the grief tolerable. Keep honoring the memories.’ Another added: ‘I am soooo sorry momma!!!! She’s a special and one of a kind woman!!!! I love u both sooooo much and am here if u need to talk!!!!’Holt was a star in her own right and enjoyed a singing and acting career in her earlier years Passing on their support, one other fan posted photos of Cher and Holt together and said: ‘Omg, oh Cher, I’m so very sorry, she is at peace & pain free now she’s so special & amazing, my heart is breaking for you I’m sending all my love & prayers & comforting hugs to you & family, I’m always here for you no matter what, we all are, I love you both so much.’ Holt herself was a singer in her earlier years and began by singing on an Oklahoma City radio station when she was six, before joining bandleader Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys by age 10.
