Starnes Family: Olene was a very special Lady that showed kindness and love to every person she met. Any time that I saw her anywhere she had a big smile and a hug for me. I am so sorry for your loss, but Heaven gained another Angel. No more pain, just happiness in the presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Prayers for comfort and strength in this sorrowful time.
Love, Jean
