Kenny, Jerry, Phillip and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please know that we are thinking of you all.
I have such fond memories of your family and all the fun we had growing up.
So so sorry to hear about Ollie. I hadn’t been out there for 5 days and thought I had better get out there to see her and was shocked when I found out she was gone. I was blessed to have known her. She was such a kind soul. She just loved her family and always was so proud to show off her newest pictures. She just loved those little red heads. I will miss seeing her smile very much. Even in the home she was a caregiver. always helping her roommate. I will always treasure the time I had with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. She’s an angel looking down and smiling now.
We want to extend our deepest sympathy. She was a wonderful person & will be missed.
It was an honor to know your mom. I am very sorry for your loss.
Symphathies to our extended family. I have fond memories of both Aunt Ollie and Uncle Kenny. Ollie always reminded me so much of my grandmother, Buelah Webb: always could tell they were sisters! We keep your families in our prayers during the coming days.
Kenny and Annette, You have our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. We will keep all of you in our prayers. Know that she is at peace.
