Loved looking after Olive and curling her hair so she felt beautiful like she was inside and out, RIP Olive♥️
Another one of the "greatest generation" has passed. They lived through the Great Depression and World War II and were survivors of both. She was so full of life and I had the joy of visiting her and my uncle Ralph at their winter home. She will be missed.
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Olive was a lovely lady. I enjoyed her chats and sense of humor in the morning at breakfast time. She will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers 💓
Christine and Susan, Pat and I send you our sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. You had her in your lives for an extraordinary period of time and as she took care of you originally, you two reciprocated for her in her later years. Thinking of you both. David & Pat
