    Dear Kevin, Carolyn and family, We are sorry to hear of Olive&&single&&s death. Our thoughts are with you now. Just remember that good memories will help you through these tough times. We “other parents” have always been impressed with you Kevin, as to how kind and considerate you have been to your grandmother. Imagine that she thought that “OV” meant her initials! We are sure that you and your friends put lots of things over on the rest of us too!! We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Marie and Neil McGavin
