Laurie,
It is with mourning that I heard of the death of Olivine.
It is a consolation of our faith that Olivine is now closer to you, can love you and pray for you not before a statue or with a prayer book but in the very presence of God. Laurie and family, know that I will be holding you in prayer.

We never met Mrs. Cleary, but became instant friends with her son, Francis and his wife Lola, then we got to meet their family and loved them too. We were so fortunate to know Francis who passed away several years ago. Both Francis and Lola spoke/speak lovingly of Mrs. Cleary. I know she will be missed by her beautiful family.
