Remembering you.....

Dear Karen,
Just heard about Olive, and our condolences to you, Tom, and family. Your dad was very fortunate to have Olive, but she was even more so to have you. Such devotion and strength of character are not often seen these days - that's the real testament to your parents (all three of them).

Love,
Prudy, Charlie & Bella
