Mrs. Olivia, I never got the pleasure of meeting you, but I was fortunate enough to meet your boys. And, I am lucky enough to call one of them a very good friend. You can tell a lot about a person from their children. Pedro is very big on respect, and I’m positive he didn’t learn it from TV. It’s a terrible thing, a son having to say goodbye to his mother. I will have to do it someday myself and the thought alone fills my eyes with tears as I write this. So, out of respect for my friend’s mother, who’s taught me a thing or two about respect, without even meeting her through her son. I write these words to you from a stranger who owes you a debt that you were unaware of. Thank you for existing and being the mom my friend needed you to be. You will forever be missed and never forgotten.
I didn’t get to meet my son in laws mom. But I’m heart broken to learn of her passing. May she rest in peace . She’s in the company of our Dear Lord Jesus.
Sorry she has left us. She was a fine person, great to talk to.
God bless her family.
We know her spirit and her lessons taught will always be here.
Rest in Peace in a job well done!
