Bryan, Terri, Lyndsee and Allee...
Words cannot express the loss of a mother (and great grandmother) until we experience the loss ourselves. We remember the good times, the memories and what we could have done to make their lives a little bit happier. In the end it comes down to family, caring and love. Indeed, Olive was blessed with all three.
Olive was a lively, loving lady. Always fashionable with a sparkle in her eyes. We enjoyed her at our family gatherings and thought of her as part of our own family. We will miss her.
