Dear Yurechko family,
I grew up with Olga living down the street. She would bake and cook us goodies all the time. She would bring down vegetables and fruits from the farmers market and her garden. She was such a loving, caring and beatiful woman. My childhood wouldn't of been the same without her.
I loved visiting her with my mom, and listening to all her stories about her life and childhood.
Olga will be dearly missed.
My deepest sympathy to the Yurechko family.

Dear Yurechko family,
Today is a very sad day for us. We lost our dear neighbor, Olga. She was a dear friend and a caring neighbor to all of us.
I will always remember sharing stories with her about her country and about her and Mike coming to America. I loved sharing books with her and eating fresh vegetables from our gardens. I will always and to this day miss seeing Mike outside burning leaves in the yard sometimes up until Thanksgiving eve spreading a nice orange glow over the yard on a chilly November night.
God needed yet another loving angel.
You will always be in our hearts and in our home "Mike and Olga."
God Bless your family today and always.
George, Judy, Corrina and Velecia Passaro

Dear Lou and Pat,
If everyone had just a fragment of the compassion and sense of humor your mother had, this would truly be a wonderful world. You know, she always called her home in Laurys "Heaven". I can see our Lord welcoming her into Heaven, and she asking, "Oh, am I in Laurys Station?"
In fact, she was never happier than when she was near the two of you and your family. She loved all of you so dearly. Our sincere sympathy. My heart cries.
