God was ready for you to come home, no more pain. I always enjoy the days I came to visit you at the nursing home. I will always remember the comfort and kinds you gave mom when she had to be there for rehab. I have a lot of good memories of living next door to you. You and Lee came and asked us to go to church, Then I guess we wre all friends forever. Rest in peace. We will see you again some day. Lee, Becky, and Peggy, I know the loss you feel. I will keep you in my prayers.

Lee, Becky,Peggy and the rest of the family, I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Oliver´s passing. When we moved to Salisbury all those years before, I guess she and the kids were probably the first ones who came to visit us and remained a friend all through the years. She has gone to her external rest and is in the presence of the Lord. She has finally gotten to see Mary and Janie after so long. I have so many fond memories of living beside you´ll. You´ll were good friends and neighbors. I pray that God will be with each of you in this time of sorrow. Praying that He will put his loving arms around you and let you know that He is always there for you. You´ll will always have a special place in my heart.
