Dear Myrtle and Family,
I will miss my visits and long chats with Aunt Ollie. She was able to recall fond memories of my mother Clare, grandmother Annie, and all of the Rull Family.Aunt Ollie appreciated her sweet “Figure Eight” danish and Roche Brothers’ blueberry muffins! She cherished the necklace that my daughter Mary and I brought her! She guarded it on her wrist for over a year! She recorded her “life” for Mary’s school book project. These are fond memories of a life well lived. I was lucky to be there to celebrate her 105th, but I’m sure she is celebrating now with her family in heaven.
To the Rull family,
“Little flower, at this hour, show thy power.” I will always remember Auntie Ollie’s words of wisdom and how much she cherished this prayer to St. Theresa. I’m so glad that I was able to visit her recently and spent some time with her on her 105th birthday. She never ceased to amaze me with her sharp memory and sense of humor. I’m sure that she is at peace and having a joyous reunion with her loving husband, children, sisters and friends. Rest in peace dear Aunt Ollie, you certainly lived a wonderful life!

It was a pleasure to be Ollie Rull’s Neice. I treasure the memories
We’ll miss calling or visiting Aunt Ollie and the stories she shared about Annie (Grandma) and Leo (Grandpa) Rull along with my Mom (Gertrude), aunts & uncles growing up. She was a treasure & always had a kind word for people.
Rest well and enjoy peace and love surrounded by your loves ones in heaven. A candle and memorial request will be lit in your memory at the National Cathedral in DC.

Dear Myrtle and family,
I last saw Great Aunt Ollie just before Christmas. As always, she was kind and welcoming. She talked dearly about my mother Clare who always enjoyed her long telephone conversations with her Aunt. I’m sure the two of them are catching up now. God Bless.
Just driving by Hemlock Drive this morning, I worried that something happened – seeing so many cars.
I am so sorry to hear of dear Olive’s passing. She was a wonderful friend to my mother in law, Marie as well as to David and myself.May she rest in peace.
Love
David and CarolAnn McLachlan
