It has been a pleasure to get to know you over the years. We had some great time. I would like to thank you for my beautiful wife she's beautiful both inside and out. She has love and compassion like no other. She is a very strong woman and loves her family so much. These are the things she has learned from you and I appreciate those things that you taught your daughter. Love always your son Joe Lastra

Sisters! Some you can live with and some you can't. We don't get to choose who will be our sisters but I got lucky, I was the first sister to my sister after 3 brothers. She was my mentor, she was beautiful and everything a sister looks up to her big sister for. Well my big sister is in heaven now, with Grandma Mary...Lou. I am happy for you sis, but I will miss you. I love you.

Olga, you are and will continue to be an inspirational light to so many. You touched the lives of many many children (including my nieces and nephews) it was a pleasure to work with at Grant many years ago. I had to laugh as I looked over notes that you sent when my son was in your class. You'll be glad to know he turned out alright and graduated SJSU. Your family is blessed to have enjoyed you over the years as was the community. May your family find peace in the memories of your love and light.
