I'm very sorry for your loss but Oliver is where he has longed to be, with Hazel, grandpa, grandma and all his brothers and sisters. He was truly a great uncle to me and I will never forget all those times we worked hard together and played just a hard. His memory will live in my mind the rest of my life.
