Olga Bilinski Hess

Dear Robby, David, Tina, and Quin:

I loved your mother and will miss her greatly. She and your father brought much happiness to my mother (your "Auntie Sis") and to me over my entire life (from about age 9, when they were married). All of you and your sister Anne were a source of much pride, joy, and comfort to my "Aunt Smoky", always. I hope you can rest comforted with this knowledge. Much love to you all at this difficult time.

Quin, Searcy, and Annabel,

We are deeply sorry for the loss of your mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Marie and Kurt

Olga was a wonderful person who was always gracious and kind. One cannot remember her without smiling. My prayers go out to Olga and her family.

I am a friend of Tina's and met Mrs. Hess just once recently. Tina has told me some of her mother's early life, and from my meeting with her, seeing her beautiful calligraphy work, and the hearing the stories from Tina, I’m guessing she was quite a pip in her day, and led a fairly exciting and very good life. It is sad when we have to let go of our loved ones. Rich Miller

I was very sorry to learn of Mrs. Hess' death - she was always so helpful to the law students - I have fond memories of her from when I was in law school.

On behalf of the Rufin family and

all Olga's friends at Ye Olde College Inn I'd like to offer our

prayers and condolences on the death of your mother - a most gracious lady.

Robby, I was sorry to see of your mother's death. To have that happen right at Christmas on top of Katrina must be hard. Please express my sympathy to the rest of your brothers and sisters. I will remember her in my Masses.

Worked with Bob Hess at First National Bank of Commerce. I was

VP in the International Division.

Our prayers are with the family!!
