Dear Uncle Norman, Marina, Norma, Janet, Karen and families, You are in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Olive was a gifted, capable and forthright lady. I have fond childhood memories of many Christmas celebrations with lots of cousins and Grandma Watson at Aunt Olive and Uncle Norman’s house in Kleinburg. I was always amazed by Aunt Olive’s plants and crafts, her creativity, attention to detail and love for natural and homemade beauty. We are sorry for your loss.

My heartfelt condolences to all the family.

I took chair caning lessons from Mr. Norman Watson, so I was a guest many times in the Watson home. Olive always served homemade cookies during every class. I looked forward to the warmth that was in their home just as much as I enjoyed the lessons.
Olive sometimes gave me tours of the house so I could see the artistic work both Norman and Olive created. I always sucked in my breath because they inspired me so much, and because what they showed me was something I could learn to do. Olive had a beautiful mind and I will truly miss her.

I am so very sorry to learn of Olive’s death. She was a lovely lady. It was always nice to meet up with the Watsons in Kleinburg or Nobleton over many years. I do miss those opportunities since my move to Guelph 10 years ago.

Uncle Norman and Family,
Mary is visiting us and relating the many good memories from the service and viewing. Aunt Olive lived and loved well. I often received the blessing of her care. If I were to list the ten best days of my life, one of them would be Christmas at your home. How I wish I could have been present with you this week.
