Dear Olga, Helen, Menny, Penny, Michael (and families)

She was the most gracious and welcoming woman. The few times I would meet her she would welcome me and hold my hand and remembered me and my children. Just warm and genuine and authentic. I always sensed that she felt she had been blessed with family and friends. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Dearest Olga, Helen, Menny, Penny and Michael. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your mother.

We thank God for the incredible example that she was of overcoming, persevering courage and the model she was of love, care, strength and duty.

She and your father, Steve, loved each of you and your spouses, your children and your grandchildren. Side-by-side they built a family and a business.

May her courage, kindness, strength, and sense of duty live on in each of you as you love one another and as you pursue life to the fullest.

May you be comforted knowing that she has been reunited with her beloved husband and all those loved ones that have gone before – and most of all that she is with Jesus.

Grace, peace, blessings and love to all of you – Teta Anna & Uncle Louis, Hellen & Tony, George & Lisa, Silvio, Louis, Rosanna, Gabriel and Nicholas.
