Mom I miss you already so much. I can't believe your gone. I've always thought you would live forever. I guess the child In me thinks our parents are Invincible and lives forever. Please remember and know it was my honor to take care of you when you were sick. I'm so blessed that God gave us that time together. I'll remember it forever. I think God we were able to forgive each other. I know you love me as much as I love you. I want to thank you for raising me into the women I am today. I'm going to be ok all because of your unconditional love you gave me. I know your at peace now in your head and with your body. Thank you for taking care of me and my children. I will miss you but I know we will see each other again when that time comes. You were a good mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend to us all. RIP momma. I love you with my heart and soul.

Maxine is my cousin. Her Mom was sister to my dad - Thomas E. Ollice. I lived in Norfolk, VA & moved away after getting married at age 18. I traveled a lot with my husband who was in the Army. I remarried 33 yrs. ago & I've been living in Florida for over 40 years. May the family be at peace as they go through this difficult loss. Love Virginia
