Dear George and family, My deepest sympathy to you all in the loss of Ollie. She was so very special to me. I became friends with her when we both learned to swim at the Y in our 'old age'. We walked at the mall every other day for quite a few years. She had such a good sense of humor and I loved her dearly. I will write more in my card later. Hang in there and God Bless!
Love, Muriel (Giesman) Langerud

Dear George and Family,
I was so very saddened to learn of Ollie's death. Her positive attitude and ready smile made her such an asset as a volunteer at the information desk. And she was always willing to help out when I was in a pinch for coverage. She is going to be greatly missed.
