Dear Family
We were so sorry to hear of
Olga’s passing. She was always a
well liked lady, and had time
for a hello if she saw you.
Olga will be missed by members
of the church, and the Boys and Girls club.
I am truly sorry on the passing of Olga
I knew Olga from her days of selling real estate and remember working with her on many transactions. She was always fair. I would also run into her at the Tim Hortons on Springbank Drive.My thoughts are with you Audrey
Olga was a part of our “Gang” for many years. We will truly miss her caring , generous ways.
She was a special lady
Dear Family,
We wish to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. My family, and my brother’s and sister’s family had a special visit from her and Daphne back in 2002. It was the first time meeting Aunt Olga and a very special person she was. We are grateful she took the time to visit us all in Nova Scotia that summer. She will be missed.
To the family:
We were sorry to hear of Olga’s passing. We had a beautiful visit with Aunt Olga in the summer of 2002. She was also back to visit us in 2006. Her big smile will be remembered.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a loving and kind person. I am unable to come to the ceremony as I work, however I’m sure my Mom would like me to write this to you. My Mom, Grace Kingsley died 4 years ago. She and your Mom were very good friends. They used to meet often with a bunch of their friends and gab for hours! Whenever my Mom had a problem to talk about she would call Olga and they would reach a solution. I am truly grateful for the friendship that your Mother had with my Mother. She will be missed greatly. I’m sure you have many wonderful memories to help you through this difficult time. At least we can remember that we had wonderful caring Mothers who shared many laughs and were there when we needed them. Sincerely, Lynda Kingsley

We would just like Olga’s family know how much she will be missed, and what an honour it was to be able to call her “friend” She always talked so highly of her family and her extended family, she will be missed.
