"And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?" -- Kahlil Gibran

I will forever remember and learn from Aunt Ollie's unwavering faith in God and her all-encompassing, passionate, unconditional love for her soulmate, Uncle Terry. Her complete devotion to her daughter and grandchildren were unmatched. Aunt Ollie exuded kindness, beauty, and class that was inspiring to me. I firmly believe that Aunt Ollie was so grounded in her belief in God that her journey to him was unencumbered and celebrated by the heavens.

Dear Ollie, My Sister, My Friend and My Co-Grandma! I will miss you immensely, I You are truly one of the nicest human beings I have ever met.  I have truly enjoyed becoming family with you and will cherish our time together.  We have shared the God given responsibility of grandparenting to two (2) of the most amazing, intelligent and awesome grandchildren in the world.  And I believe we have gone above and beyond our duties, especially with the spoiling of them.   We are truly great Grandmas.    Now that you are gone, how am I supposed to do it without you?    With God's help, I will try my best and I promise you that as long as I live our grandchildren will know how wonderful their Granny was and how much she loved them .  You will never be forgotten!    

Love you,  Your Co-Grandma, Bessie

Aunt Ollie, I have so many fond memories, and I could never summarize them to fit this short tribute. You are the definition of a warrior, literally and figuratively as you have fought and won many of life's battles. You were the definition of a loyal wife and mother, and an Aunt who treated me like your own. You always made sure to tell me you loved me and ensured I said it back! I will never forget your unconditional love for me and my family. Rest In Heaven, Auntie. -Your niece, Zet

The first time I met your mom, we stood in the kitchen and just talked and laughed. 
We'd always find each other and greet one another with huge smiles. I'm so glad I got to meet and spend time with such a beautiful spirit inside and out.

I met Mrs. Ollie on the way back to Atlanta while on a girls’ trip with Monica. As soon as we pulled up in her driveway, she greeted us with a smile and welcomed us in for food. We laughed, cried, prayed and shared intimate stories. She made me feel loved  and encouraged me so much within that short visit. Mrs. Ollie was a beautiful woman with an even more beautiful spirit. I will never forget that sweet moment we shared. I am so grateful to have met her and shared that special moment with her. - Martina

God blessed us with a true angel on earth and gave us a glimpse of heaven with your presence and unyielding love, Aunt Ollie. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to experience your love, kindness, warmth and grace. It is difficult to speak in the past tense, so I won’t — I know that you’re in perfect peace and rejoicing. I know that you’ll continue to care for your precious family and give them/us glimpses of what’s to come. You’re an inspiration. Until next time. 

I love you ❤️
