Clare, I was so sorry to hear about the death of your mother. I am also sorry that I was unable to attend the funeral. Your family is like a second family to me. Give my condolences to the rest of your sisters and brothers.

Mrs. Olivia was one of those lovely moms who, when you walked into her home, you felt like you belonged there. She was truly one of the pillars of the community, known and loved by all, as is each of her children who all reflect her qualities. It was a privilege to have known both her and Mr. Gerald. She will be sorely missed, but long remembered. Our apologies for not being able to visit in your time of sorrow, but our heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with you.

Your mother was a beautiful person. We always loved being around her - just always so jolly. My parents really enjoyed the times in the past that both your mom and dad were around. We have truly happy memories of all of them. We are Blessed! Sorry I could not go by the house yesterday after the services but I had to get back to the office. You all are in my prayers and thoughts. Take care. Love Boot and Ann Caldarera

Ms. Olivia was a true Assumption Parish treasure. She was a champion of education and loved by all who met her. Her contributions over the years to the Parish are too numerous to list here. Her thoughtful Letters to the Editor showed a real insight. All of us will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, her children, which she called her greatest blessing.

Miss Chenevert was my favorite high school teacher. She was the sweetest person I knew. She was a real inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing her with me.
