Dear Karen, Kathy and Ken,
it has been a wonderful experience getting to know all of you and your families. Thank you for all the love and acceptance you have given to my mom (Jo). I wished I would have known your father but I can tell he was a wonderful person just by meeting all of you. Can't wait for another family dinner!

Barbara, Karen and families,

I have fond memories of your great family. Please accept my condolences on your loss. I enjoyed having an opportunity to read the obituary and the many kind things people have written in this guestbook.

The Allens fondly remember many things about the Olsons. But especially we all remember Rex hitting golf balls from your back yard to ours. I loved always being with your family and I always felt so welcome. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss.

Ken, Jill and Family
The tribute of a persons life can be seen in the family they leave behind. We are sorry for your families loss and are thinking about you during this difficult time. We're grateful for your friendship and sorry we were unable to attend your fathers services.

We're so sorry to read of the passing of such a fine individual as Rex Olson. We're also sorry that we weren't able to make the funeral or viewing since we just barely found out about it, we miss both and missed seeing your wonderful family.

It is so rough to lose a parent. Our very sincere condolences and prayers,
Charlotte (Werner) & Kurt Ovard

While I only met Mr. Olson one time, I am grateful to know his daughter, Kathy, and her family. I think it is a great tribute to him that through the many times Jason and Kathy spoke of him, it was always kind and respectful and loving. What an honorable gift to leave behind such wonderful children and grandchildren! Thank you for letting me be a part of your lives, Hoggans!

Dear Family,

I want to express my sincere sympathies with you regarding Rex's passing. It has surely been a pleasure getting to know you all. I am so grateful for the love you have shown my mother, Jo.

Looking forward to dinner with you very soon.

With love,
