Grandma Ollie I miss you so much. You were one of my role models. I've never met a woman carry herself with such dignity and class, all while spreading such genuine love and kindness to every single person they encountered. I cant honestly imagine anyone having a bad word to say about you. I hope I can make you proud one day. I also hope one day I can marry a woman half as good as you.

Olive was a loyal friend to me, to my family and to Irish republican prisoners. She and Barney never forgot any kind deed you did for them or kind word you offered them. I told Father Donald Kenna (RIP) once that that they both had "it"--meaning the indescribable and amorphous thing which is the essence of a good human being. They did indeed bring new life to every endeavor they pursued. Our condolences to Meg, Tommy, Cathy and Robert and their families. Olive, we love you. You will be...
