Our family wants to offer your family our condolences. May our Lord’s grace and mercy comfort you at this sad time. We will always remember the years we shared fellowship at First Baptist. Love in Christ Helen Higgins, Charles and Rhonda.
I received this sad news while visiting with family and am sorry that I will not be able to attend the memorial service. I extend my deepest sympathies to the family. It was an honour and a privilege to have known and worked with Olive. She was always ethical, always gracious and always had a high regard for those she worked with, both colleagues and clients. She will be missed.
Our sincere condolences to you and your family for your loss. We hold many memories from university times.Conflict prevents us from sharing your sorrow on Thursday. Would enjoy meeting you and your family. Chuck and Betty Kuhn, Kelowna.
Dear Dave,
I have many good memories of fun times with you and Olive and the family. Those are the ones I will cherish fondly. Both Barney and I send our thoughts and prayers and love to you all. Because of our travels we won’t be there in person tomorrow but please know that we will be there in spirit. Love, José and Barney
Our thoughts are with all the family at this sad time. From Simon, Hannah, Zion, Constance and Clara in the UK.
I was very sad to hear that Olive had died. I send all my sympathy to Dave and to David, Colin, Myung and Noreen and their families. Eric and I had several very happy visits with Dave and Olive. They were both very hospitable and looked after us so well – we shared in family meals and they took us to many interesting places. I will be thinking of you all on Thursday.
Dave (and Aline, Olivia, Luke and Scott)- Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family, and will be with you intentionally tomorrow as you prepare for and share in the service and celebration of the life of your mother (and grandmother). Sorrow and grief is a painful expression of our knowing that a person was a tremendous gift, a joy and a blessing in our lives. We are so sorry for your sorrow, but we join with you in being thankful for the gift of your mother’s life. Love and Prayers – Krista (and Chris)
I worked with Olive years ago, and remember her compassion and regard for the children and families she served. She was a caring person who was an example of the kind of person we should strive to be.
My deepest condolences
So sorry to hear that Olive has passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Sheila (Janet’s eldest daughter)
Thank you everyone for your condolences and prayers.
Dear Dave & Family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. So sorry I could not attend Olive’s service, as I have surgery booked for tomorrow. I have many happy memories of you and Olive.
Margaret and Jim
