My 98 1/3 +1 week year old Mom and matriarch of 5 generations joined the angels in heaven on February 1, 2014. She was spunky until her last days on earth. I will miss her strong spirit, the twinkle in her eye, and her unconditional love. I was with her during her last days and hours on earth.
Love you Mom …
I had the pleasure of being Olive’s Hospice volunteer. This gave me the opportunity for several visits, sharing stories and chuckles with this lovely woman. I miss her.
May you take comfort in the bible promise to see an end to ‘pain, suffering, sickness and even death.’ (Revelation 21:4) This is a sure guarantee from our Heavenly Father Jehovah and I hope you find this promise very comforting at this difficult time. For more information on the hope for those we have lost in death go to jw.org.
I got to know “Olive” while living at Fernwood At The Park. She was such a delightful and happy lady. She always had a smile on her face and a kind hello to all of us. She will be missed at Fernwood by her many friends. R.I.P. Olive.
