Oliver's Memorial





There are sometimes just no words to express the sadness that life can bring. Oliver was in the prime of his life... married happily with a young son and a promising career. He lost his battle to cancer a month and a half ago, and everyone who knew him—who knew his love for life—just couldn't wrap their head around it. For a brief moment, in Annapolis last Saturday, we had an opportunity to all join together and relive the memories of Oliver through shared stories that created both laughter and tears. Afterwards, Alice and her parents invited us to stay the evening at their beautiful home in St. Michaels-- where we continued to find solace and support in one another's company. It was nothing short of a very emotional, yet necessary, weekend. A special thanks to the Walkers for all their hospitality.
