Russ and Pat, It was with great sadness that I heard of Olive's passing. She was a wonderful woman and I have many wonderful memories of her. Although Rachel and I cannot be in London for her funeral, please know that I am praying for you both and wishing you strength and peace during this difficult time.. I know that she struggled in the last few years but that did nothing to dim her smile or her laughter. love, Kathy and Rachel
