So sorry to hear of Auntie Olga’s passing she was such a lovely person and I have such fond memories of her and I know you will miss her greatly, thinking of you all at this sad time RIP auntie Olga.
Love
Kevin Yvonne and family.
Craig and Alison,
We are so sorry to hear the news about your mother.
I have good memories of Olga! I visited her a few times and we drank tea & chatted. An especially fun & fond memory is the time I shimmied under the front of her car in the garage. I heard a plastic part of her car dragging on the street as she returned home. A couple of zip strips had that problem solved! These are just a couple memories I carry of your mother.
Our thoughts are with you and yours,
Renee & Quinn Smith
We are so sorry to hear of Olga’s passing. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Brad and Merrie
