My most sincere and deepest condolences and solace to Gilda, Chris and Olivia " Olie" for the loss of your beloved Mother. Tia Olivia left us all with her humor and most unique laughter. I could be walking blind folded into a room and by hearing my Tia Olivia's laughter I would instantly recognize it an instant. The family gatherings with the elders, our parents, us then our kids. Unforgettable memories. Rest in eternal peace Tia.
