Not sure what to say?

Olive was an amazing friend to my mother in law Mary Sherburne. Condolences to her family and sister.

I remember her so well! She was a sweet lady with a beautiful smile! Praying Family Strength!!

Your mother was a jewel to us at Shiloh Baptist Church. Mrs. Olive had a sweet spirit; however, she meant business when we worked on projects at church. We've missed her presence every since she moved with Maggie. She will be greatly missed.

Olive and my mother in law, Mary Sherburne, we´re long time friends. I am so grateful I was able to have them speak to each other on phone a few years ago before their passing. It was amazing to hear stories from their past that connected them to each other and the work they championed on behalf of children. My sympathies to the family.
