I’m so sad to hear of Olives passing. We made many trips down the road to visit Olive & Campbell as kids. They were so good to us, like another set of grandparents. Heaven has gained an amazing angel but I bet she will be overjoyed to see Campbell and Robert and all the other loved ones that she has lost. I picture Cambell up there smiling, rocking in his chair.

Dear Nancy and family, Olive was a wonderful neighbour to my Nann for a number of years. I think the two of them had a lot of fun I recall them dressing up one Halloween . I know my Nann really missed her when she left to live in Goderich , but now l guess the two of them will be up to something up in Heaven. Sending our caring thoughts to you and your family .

Thank you for “Being there” for her & loving her, Nancy!! Our sympathies for her parting (even at a wonderful “old age”), to the WHOLE family!!!

Nancy and Family,
I would like to offer you my heartfelt symphathy to you and your family at this sad time. Olive was a very special lady and she was the kindness person I knew. I remember her days of coming into the bank and she always had a kind word to say. I missed seeing and talking to her after she moved from her home near Zurich. God has one more angel in Heaven.
