Our sincere condolences to all of the Bordigioni family in the loss of your dear mother and grandmother. We were fortunate to have known her and her infectious smile and laugh. Loosing our mothers is never easy but know she is in a better place and is at peace.

Olga, dear great and good friend and neighbor, I hope you knew how very much I appreciated you. You taught me how to cook Italian (never as good as yours, but passable.) How to drink Gaupa and play penuchle. Above all you taught me how to be a mother and I hope a lady. Even now I miss those evenings sitting in the driveways and visiting. It was a simpler time, but ever so dear. God bless you and yours always. Kay Buscher Laub

When thinking of a future return to the USA we always too looked forward to seeing Olga again. The few times in previous years we had the pleasure of meeting with her are truly engraved in our minds. We met a warm, large-minded, impressive and admirable person with the "heart in the right spot" as we say here in our country. She became a tremendous, important part in our lives when she arranged our wedding celebrations in 2004 and made this important day a lifetime lasting milestone for us. She was a wonderful host to us. All this in gratefulness unforgotten.Ever since she became a part of our family too. Indeed, her spirit was remarkable and if only we could have caught a spark from that, life would have been a lot easier sometimes.
Yes, we are deeply sad to hear that dear Olga has gone.
Bye bye, Olga - we`ll meet again.....

Dear Tom, Janice and family,

Please accept our condolences on the passing of your Mum. Ryan, Justin, Dylan and I remember the good days when you all lived next door to us. Olga was always such a wise woman. Her 3 boys she loved so dearly and wished only the best for them. Having 3 boys of my own she passed on her wisdom to me and it has been an inspiration to me for years and still is today. May she rest in peace. Hugs to all of you. Remember you were all good sons to her and she was blessed with warmth, love and laughter of grandchildren. Love Louise

Olga: I remember your smile: I remember your good nature. There were many dinners and parties in those small rooms we called home, but the family was close. We laughed, told jokes, spilled wine and ate lots of good food. Oh, your pies were outstanding!
We are still struggling here, with the unknown ahead, but you made it into the arms of Our Lord. How wonderful. Enjoy your new life and rebirth. Pray for us. Love you Diana
