Dennis and family,
Sending all of you much love and healing prayers!! Look forward to seeing Olive again one day.
Dear Dennis and Family Our deepest, heartfelt condolences. Olive will be truly missed. Her wonderful nature and intuition was such a gift that made life easier for those around her. Her contagious laugh lighted the soul. What a light she was in this world. She is now with our Heavenly Father cancer free. “This world is not our home” Amen
What can I say. Ever since Olive & I met in the 60’s and discovered Den & Den were both mad, we’ve had a very close friendship in which thousands of miles made no difference. Over the years we’ve kept in touch, highlighted by Den & Olive visiting us & us visiting them in Canada. I will really miss Olive’s newsy letters about everyday life and family, sometimes exchanging recipes. Her passing has left a great hole in our hearts but it can never remove the fun we had & lasting memories . We will miss you dearly and look forward to meeting her with our Lord
How very much I will miss Olive. I could always count on Olive to have a good laugh with me. Olive was always so positive and encouraging, How very much she loved her family. Most of all Olive loved her Heavenly Father. That love covered everything in her life. We were all blessed to have her in our lives. Her life of testimony to Christ is seen in her family .
Dennis our hearts go out to you and your family, as you say goodbye to the love of your life until you meet again. Have many happy memories of Olive’s happy face as she encouraged you with Charlie and Cyrle. God Bless you all.
Dennis, we remember fondly the kindness that you and Olive showed to us and our family. Your love for each other and your faith is an example to all. We especially are thinking of you as you adjust to life without Olive. She will be greatly missed. Hugs to you and our love always.
My thoughts are with the whole family. Olive was a dear friend and a shining example off Christian love. I will miss her greatly. You are in my prayers.
Olive, my Friend and neighbour. I didn’t say Goodbye Beautiful Lady because I know we will meet again. You will be missed by so many especially your Dear Husband Dennis and your wonderful Family.
A fond farewell to Auntie O, and our condolences to Dennis and the family. May you often recall your precious memories.

It’s hard to put into words how much all of you meant to us Dennis and family – when we say ‘we love you’; the Lord brought you to us at Bethany Chapel and you were like family to us. Our children have only grand memories of ‘Auntie O’ and my time with Olive as a dear friend was always precious. Her love of life, the Lord, family and care for others never waned. We will always treasure the courage we witnessed these last months as she bore faithful witness to her Lord to the very end.
