Our mothers were sisters and loved each other very, very much.
Will always remember the times Olive and her kids visited out house and the times we visited them. Not many but they are bright spots in my memory.
Her suffering is over, she is with her Mom, my Mom, and all the rest of the family and they are watching over us all.
May God Bless her children during this time.

I can remember when her and dad used to take us swimming at rippling waters years ago . and how they would take us to church. and when Me and Danny lived up the river her and Dad would come and stay all night at our house and we would be cooking pork chops at 11:00 at night. And I will never forget the big smile on her face when Danny told her that he was taking her and Daddy and Jr to Nashville with us back in 1988 and we went to the grand old opry and to the Nashville now show she love every bit of it. so glad we have all this in our memory with her.

I have so many memories of good times spent with Olive. I guess my favorite one would be the time we went to the beach in FL. She was laying in the water with not a care in the world and I slipped up behind her and pulled her toe and yelled "shark". She came up out of the water and started chasing me. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't hardly run, and she was too. I cherish all the memories I have of her. I love her and will miss her very much. She was a good friend to me and my family. I just know she and Mom, Dad, Gary and Sherry are having some good talks.
