We extend our sympathy to Miriam, Laura, and Marcus. Oliver has always been a favorite cousin to me, as we have a very small family. We have many good memories of him, made through the years.

Our family (The Sales) attended the Wytheville Church of Christ many years ago (1960's), and I remember you all as also being members of that congregation. Wally, Cheryl and I wish to extend our sincere condolences to your family as I know you will miss Oliver. Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
