Olive - Rest in Peace
Remember my post last year about Olive Riley, the world’s oldest blogger? She called herself the world’s oldest blobber, but any way you say it, Olive was an inspiration to us all.
Her last blog post talked about how she couldn’t shake the cough she had. On the 11th, Olive became seriously ill and yesterday at age 108, Olive died. I will miss her singing and her stories but she deserves a good rest after all those years of living.
“It was mind blowing to her,” her great grandson Darren Stone, of Brisbane, told AAP tonight.
“She had people communicating with her from as far away as Russia and America on a continual basis, not just once in a while.”
Olive had posted more than 70 entries on her blog - or as she jokingly labelled it, her “blob” - since February last year.
I certainly believe that she is an inspiration to us.
Olive is a woman who is full of life. My best wishes are always with her.
Just goes to show you that age really doesn’t matter!
