Hollow or hollow means empty inside; having a space or cavity within, literally or figuratively--
This hollow gourd will make a nice bird feeder.
It was a hollow victory, in the end.
Hallow or hallow means to consecrate or make holy; to venerate or honor as holy--
"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate--we can not consecrate--we can not hallow--this ground."
They held a special service to hallow the ground to be used for a cemetery.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"His pledge to hallow her memory rang hollow, since he had behaved badly when she was alive."
