Oh, goodness! I have so many fond memories of Olivia, having grown up next door to them. For my First Communion she baked me a cake and gave me a rosary she brought from Rome that had been blessed by the Pope. She was also a classmate of my Dad and we always kidded them about being a “couple.” She was such an elegant lady. You are all in my prayers.
Olivia was a fellow parishioner of St. Peter who was a friend to me in the late 90s. She was a member of my Disciples in Mission study group. She even visited me when I was hospitalized. I had lost track of her and am so sorry to read of her death.
