To Richard and family, although we haven’t seen Olive Anne or Richard for a very long time we were saddened to learn that Olive Anne has passed away. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out, and she will be greatly missed. We wish Richard all the best in adjusting to life without his darling wife and soul mate. Our thoughts are with you all .

So sorry to hear of OliveAnnes passing. I was thinking back to the 1980’s when I started working at Glengarry Pharmacy and what valuable lessons Richard and OliveAnne taught me that I still use today. We had lots of laughs like Richie sending us to buy savouries from Lindisfarne bakery ,when Ollie wasn’t there, because he was supposed to be on a diet and Ollie wondering why he wasn’t losing weight, but really she knew along.
OliveAnne was a beautiful caring lady and loved her family deeply so my condolences to Richard,Antoinette,Nicholas and families

Such a vibrant woman who absolutely adored her family. Olive Anne welcomed us into her life. It is a sad day saying the final goodbye. Thoughts and love with you today and all the days that follow.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs Piper (I'll always refer to her as that ). Such a vivacious, passionate lady who had so much love for her family. I hope you will find peace in knowing how well respected she was and how many lives she touched with the good things she did for others.
