Olga, your loss has devastated both Rich and me. You were my best friend, you were always a big part of our lives, first when we lived in Chicago, then when we moved to Kenosha, and lastly once we moved away to North Carolina. It was so good seeing you each time we visited Chicago. Thank you for your loyalty, your laid back sweetness and your boisterous laugh, and your generosity. You will be in our hearts forever. Till we meet again, over the rainbow's bridge,

My dear friend Olga of over 50 years...how I am saddened by your loss, but I know you're at peace now.
We met when we were as young as four years old, growing up across the street from each other. We became really good friends in 4th through 8th grades, hanging out almost daily either in school or riding bikes or laughing doing the silliest things. One of my favorite memories of her, was in the mid 1960's when we used to play pretend to the show "Man from U.N.C.L.E." We'd play spies, just like in the show. I'd play the Napoleon Solo part, and Olga, being part Ukrainian, would play the Illya Kuryakin part. We thought we were cool.
Over the years we grew up, grew apart, and I saw Olga once again at my wedding. Then, I lost contact with her for 20 years, then Facebook brought us in touch again. I'm just so sorry we never got a chance to meet again in person. We always probably thought we'd have more time....
I'm hoping Olga is in a good place now, and know her friends and family are blessed to have known such a wonderful person. I love Olga like a sister...I will miss you and hope we meet again one day.

We shared many laughs and stories, you were always a loving and caring person always willing to help others. Always making our work place just a little bit brighter by your amazing talent for decor. A memory comes to mind the "Snowman Mug" it was a gift you gave me a long time ago and you were surprised when I told you I still had it, but now more than ever, every-time I use it on those cold winter days I will think you.
May you Rest In Peace my friend.
Your friend always Susy Espinoza (NYC)
