Olga Montero

Year of the Dragon 2024:
3 Dragons in our House.
Mom, OLGA. and Me .

Olga & Maria

According to Hebrew observance of the soul's passing:
Mom's passing on your birthday of January 26, (23) will fall on my birthday next year.

This is testament to Olga, Mom's and my connection.

With gratitude and reverance, thank you mom for Olga and my life.

This Trinity in our connection is Sacred.

God is Great.

Mom, on this Mother's Day, when I close my eyes a picture of you appears ; so let it be; with you by my side and until I see you again. ~ Tu Teri.

" Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over
it became a butterfly"~proverb

Happy 56th Birthday Duchess ! I picture you tying a ribbon across your head like you used to. Love You; Teri

Solemn day; The actual day of your passing brought me to a place where I remember only the person you were- no time to grieve. Today, being the Hindu festival whereby Lord Shiva is said to dance- I see you honoring all of us- your children and family. We will never know another person like you. In fact, the world will never know another Olga like you. Your Teri.

Happy Birthday Olgi ~ Thinking of You, Miss You Duchess; Tu Teri

I told the story of your passing to a co-worker yesterday without realizing it was the anniversary, Feb 21st, 2008. Hope you are dancing with tia Maruche up in heaven. Miss you both terribly.

Thinking of your jokes and sayings brings a smile every time. Remembering your smile and spark.
I am so lucky you are my sister. I Love You, eternally. Teri.

Sis, a dear friend of yours for who you did translation work, gave a us a piece of art work. He said that you helped him selflessly and that you cared. He hoped the art work would be a light to her memory for our family.

You often helped people from your heart. I know. This is who you are.

Miss your heart and your spark which gives me joy.

Besitos para ti, mi hermanita.

Sis, this morning I remembered your saying:
Let's not and say we did.
Brings a smile to my face everytime.

Happy Birthday my Queen- Thank you for everything especially the Monarch Butterfly- I know you were trying to tell me that Family is Forever. If this world ends I would want the same exact Family and you as my only sister- I won't have it any other way.
I truly love you. Your sis Teri.

No one can ever know or even imagine how it is when you lose someone you Love. When I think of daddy I can almost feel him on my right shoulder. When I think of you, Olga, I just want to see you before my eyes. The other day I was in a crowd of people and swore I almost saw you ~ I was standing on my toes trying to watch you but as they walked away and got a peak of their side of the face, I realized that it was not you.

Thanks for the reminder. I won't forget my better half, my sister.

If you have a sister consider yourself Lucky. Give Thanks Everyday. Your Sis, Tere.

Sweet Olga I recently learned of your passing from an old friend and although I have not communicated with you for many years you were always in my thoughts. My heart goes out to your family; they must miss you terribly. I am grateful for time I spent with you and will always remember you fondly. Rest in peace.

<3

Happy Birthday Mi Reina~ My One and Only Sis-
Love You Now & Forever- Teri

<3

Happy Birthday - You're Beautiful and I wish you were here- Take Care of Us from Above- Bear Hugs- Tere

I love you so much. Never forget that.

Eternal love, this is what we are and we are always connected.
Isa

Miss You with a Bleeding Heart today- I Love You. Your Sis.

Please spread your light and guide your son.

I love you xo

Fear does not exist - it is something you create.

I never understood why you were never scared of anything until I heard this phrase.

You are perfect
You are great
But most important of all
You are my mother.

A woman of strength which you have brought upon me.

I feel bullet proof and I will not stop until we are together again.

Got bless your beautiful soul ma'
I'm not mad at him anymore.

I love you way past forever xo

Happy Birhday My One and Only Sis. Your birthday falls on a Saturday and also the day your brother was born. The connection between Family never leaves it just shifts. Your in my thoughts and I don't know how I'm able to carry on. My Heart glows with Love For You- Always. Besos and Bear Hugs. your Sis.

Happy birthday mi querida mama. There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss you. I love you so much.

I miss you, every single day of my life. Knowing that your gone breaks me. Kills me. But knowing that you will always be with me, is what keeps me alive.
I love you mama, more than anything.
Say Hi to abuelo for me i know hes with us too! Just keep me strong my guardian Angel
Love you xox

- Jovs

Your beauty leaves me speechless everytime I look at a picture of you. Its crazy how in life when the person who means the most to you departs and all you have are memories from pictures and memories within the heart. I wish to hear your voice, I wish to feel those hugs you would always give me and Jovi. I love you mom. So much that it hurts. I seek for your guidance, as I get older I find myself becoming more afraid. Afraid of what the future has in store for Maliyah and I. She's beautiful huh? I don't know what i'd do if it wasn't for her. I finally understand you mom after all these years. Forever will I leave the past behind me and look for better days ahead. When my time comes, we can start all over again. I love you. And if you found abuelo, please tell him I love him too, the only man in my life who never wanted anything from me. I miss you guys. See you on the mountain soon. XO

I love you so much. Please guide me towards the right path. I feel so lost sometimes. I miss you forever and always.

These past 4 years have felt like an enternity. I love you. We'll never forget you.

Another birthday. Happy birthday my queen. We love you xo

Happy Birthday- My Lovely (remember the song I used to sing to you). Missing You; Bear Hugs ; Butterfly Kisses ; Always on my mind you are never forgotten. We Love and Miss You Everyday. You have the most beautiful hands ,soft and beautifully shaped like those of a ballerina. Tu Hermana, Teri.

I never forgot you. I love you so much. 2012 is a year of change for bigger and better things. Before Maliyah was born I always said that I would give up my life for you just so Jovi wouldn't have to go on another day without you. I hope your not mad now because I do take that back. I don't want Maliyah to go on a single day without me. I don't want her to hurt the way I'm hurting. I wouldn't want that for anyone in this world. The pain is too excruciating. I love you mom. I love you so damn much. You don't need to worry about Jovi, I'm taking care of him now. I hope your watching us and that your proud. We miss you so frigging much. He's in good hands mom. So is Maliyah. This is my promise to you. I swear. I've learned to accept the things I cannot change, it's so hard but i'm doing it. I love you. Your birthday is soon. Another year gone by that I haven't seen your beautiful face. I want to hug you, I want to kiss you. I want to show you off to the world and let them know how much of a Queen you are. My mother, my bestfriend. We love you. I hope that your soul is safe. I love you. I love you.

Two weeks before you crossed over to the other side you sent me a beautiful Monarch Butterfly ~ it was mid February and it was rare scene to behold as I looked up and in the midst of of a few teeny tiny flurries.
I ran out of that hospital as fast as I could and wanted to run for miles but instead I ran to the area where I saw the butterfly.
The Monarch Butterfly holds a special place in my heart because it symbolizes Family and Legacy. You meant to tell me that we will never die and that if God wants, the flutter of a butterfly"s wings can cause enormous powerful changes. As we enter our third year which falls on a day I was born, I feel you more than ever.
Love and Tenderness, your sister forever, Teri.

Happy Birthday My Queen. Always thinking of you xo

You always had Strength to overcome obstacles ~ you are courageous. Sometimes I wish I had some of these qualities which you so easily possessed. Thanks for always laughing at my jokes. Love you for all eternity. Happy Birthday ! Kisses on your cheek Always thinking of you ~ Tu Hermana, Teri.

Merry Christmas My Queen. I Love U.

Maliyah and I love you so much!

Miss you mama xox

You have a beautiful daughter and granddaughter . She has become a beautiful and strong mother like you always were , you would be so proud of her. Your granddaughter is so adorable and she is growing up so fast! It's crazy how time flies, I don't know how she holds all her strength, I can't think of how hard it must be cause we all miss you so much. But in your honor Carina has become a strong wonderful mature woman And I see alot of you in her , and alot of her in maliyah.
I miss you, and I know she thinks of you everyday. You're family is so beautiful and they're being well taken care of.
I still pray for you and I wanted to give you an update because I know you'd be so proud.
Until we meet again Olga

Never forgotten sweetie.

Love you lots,
Isa

I love you xoxo

You have a beautiful grandchild Mom.

I Love You xoxoxoxoxox

Am tired of being Superman. Tired of being strong for everyone. Why can't I hurt for once? Give me the strength I need mama. I Love You, I Miss You. xo

Our family knows the meaning of : Life Is Short. Hug your family, love them, look into their eyes. I'm lucky if I get to kiss your cheek in a dream. Our memories of you and daddy are kept in our hearts. One day every member of our family will be together and we'll do this life all over again. We will be stronger and spread God's light. It will be something to see. Love You, Teri.

Tuesday's child~ Happy Birthday (26th)-I remember your saying: "Let's not and say we did"~ I say this in memory of You. Love Forever.

To wake up every morning & realize that you'll never be here kills me each day. But I know at the end of the day that no matter how much pain I feel you look down upon us and feel proud of what we've accomplished. You've made me become a better person & I thank you for that. You are my angel truly & sincerly & I couldn't ask God for a better Mother. I love you so much. Till we meet again. Forever will you remain on my mind.

Guidance.
I Love You xo

Another Year Gone By.

Don't party too much with the angels!

To the world you are one person, but to one person you are the world.

So does bebe ?

It was 20 years ago that you gave us this little gift called Carina. To look at Carina and then you, we realized we had two gifts. Happy Birthday to your precious child.
Your Sis (Teri)- forever.

Your arms were always open when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly.

Mama I miss you so much.
Your voice in the mornings when you use to wake me up.
Your comforting touch whenever there was a problem.

That beautiful smile u always gave me.
God blessed me to have a woman in my life like you, but he needed his angel back so you could teach everyone in heaven what you've taught me.
There's not a day that goes by without thinking of you.
The phrase I Love You isn't enough to express how much you mean to me.
I can't wait to see you mami,

- Your Kari

My Sweet Olgi bear
just missing you so much today....
I know you are in a better place but how I wish I could tell you "I love you" just once more and kiss your sweet face.
From this loss I learnt that life is precious and a mystery all wrapped in one. Only God knows each persons destiny and resilience. I am still in awe of how our fragile rose really had roots of steel.
I vow to always look on the bright side and to never lose hope in honor of you.

Con mucho carino
to prima Isa

They say that time heals all wounds. Our wound is deep and far reaching. If there is one comfort I have is that I believe Jesus himself took you by the hand because you passed in a spiritual room/chapel. Your last words were "Ma"- for your mother who was and always will be your true mother- your protectorate.

If I could walk to Heaven I would bring you back by the hand. Thankyou God for the dream I had where I kissed your cheek and felt every beautiful sensation so much that when I awoke I felt as if you were there with me.

You will never be forgotten in this world and the next, mi Penina- tu Teri.

Soon... One year ago you left your loved ones to be with God but so many broken hearts were left behind. Soon, we will gather and remember your departure already one year ago...

I am so proud that you are my cousin. Not one day that goes by that I don't think of you. Your picture remains in my fridge so I don't forget to give you my one kiss every night.

Please protect your beautiful children and your family, help them to be strong and slowly heal the wounds. They know that you are in a better place but they miss you so much.

I know that you are safe where you are, I know that you feel joy where you are and I know that you are smiling down at us from where you are... Someday we will get the chance to understand it all.

Hasta nunca mi prima chula.

Not a day goes by where I do not come upon something that reminds me of you- your car, your name Olga shows up many places and this year my birthday falls on a Tuesday- the day you were born and your birthday, dear sis falls on a Monday-the day I was born. Need I say more. You and I were meant to be sisters always. If this world ends and God decides to give everyone another chance to make themselves better- than you and I WILL blaze a trail together that time around. God willing. I give thanks and praise to you Lord for creating Olga. Always in my heart, your sis.

I wish to express my heartfelt sympathies to Olga's family and friends. I am so sorry for your terrible and untimely loss.

Dear Olgi

there isn't a day that you are not in my thought. Yesterday was Easter and the family got together. I love looking through old photos and there you were decked out in you pink pj's (you always loved the color pink!!!) with Annie as a baby, me and Fernie. You were about 8 in that picture. I remember taking that picture, you sleeping over........
my cousin, how I love you
kiss, Isa

My sincerest sympathies to the entire Montero family for your loss.
Although I was not close to Olga, we attended the same small, closely-knit high school which seemed more like a "family" away from home. News of Olga's passing was like losing a piece of the "Newman" (high school) heritage. May memories of happy times spent together, sustain you through this very difficult time.

For Olga ~ from the Heart, written by her sister.

God gave me you as my sister...
God is truly Great for He has given me treasure and the riches to go with this gift, which is you, Olga.

My heart is heavy and unbearable...
at times... yet I take comfort that I will cherish you Olga, for our bond was forged in Heaven, by the Almighty.

A poem, for the heart, which is my sister, Olga:

If You Are:

If you are the sun
I am the rain

If you are the mountain
I am the tree

If you are the up
I am the down

If you are the east
I am the west

If you are the smile
I am the laughter

If you are the river
I am the stream

If you see me
I see you

If you are the thunder
I am the cloud

If you are the sight
I am the eye

If you are the hearing
I am your ear

You love me
Imagine how much I love you, dear, tender sister.

All my heart, for this eternity and the next,
Maria Teresa.

My deepest sympathy to the Montero family. Although I did not keep in touch with Olga, I've always kept in touch throughout the years - through my family
Olga was a fun, sweet, and most of all, she had a way to make others smile. All I know is that you were very special to our family and we all loved you
Olga you were always in my thoughts, especially when I remembered my teen years
Gob bless you!

I am deeply saddened by Olga's passing - my heart goes out to the Montero family. I think back often of all the fun we had in high school. I'm glad I went to Montreal last September to see her in hospital - even then she had the ability to bring old friends together.
Rest in peace Olga.

My deepest condolences to Olga's family and friends. May you always remember Olga in the happiest moments she left with us all.

I knew Olga in elementary school (Luke Callaghan). I was told through friends of her passing. I have not seen her since we left elementary school but seeing her picture she is as I remember her very beautiful. I want to wish your whole family my deepest sympathy at this very sad time.

To the Montero family
My deepest condolences and my prayers are with you all. I was not to close to Olga ,but I sure do remember her smile. God bless you all during this time of sorrow.

My deepest condolences to the Montero family. May the wonderful memories you all shared with her console you during this time and always.

To the Montero family,
I am saddend and shocked to hear of the passing of Olga.I always considered Olga a friend that I will never forget her. May you all feel comfort in knowing she is among the many angels in heaven who are now watching over her family & friends.

My deepest condolences to the Montero family. I may have not known Olga as a close personal friend, but I do remember her well from high school and the news of her passing is both very sad and shocking. My deepest sympathies to her family and may God be with all of you during this very difficult time. God bless.

My deepest condolences to the Montero family. Rest in peace Olga!

Familia Montero: Siempre guardare un recuerdo muy lindo de tantos años compartidos con Olguita dentro y fuera de High School. La imagen que tengo presente es hermosa y asi perdurara. My sympathies to all family and friends on your loss but take comfort knowing she's in a better place. Descansa en paz Olguita.

To the Montero Family,
I had been thinking of Olga since she fell ill last year. To hear the news of her passing really affected me. I am sad that I could not be there to pay my condolences in person. I always knew Olga as being a happy and light spirited person. Her smile was contagious.
May time lessen the sadness of your loss and may her children be blessed for their lifetime.

They say God works in mysterious ways and the passing of Olga will be a true test of our faith because it is a tragedy that brings such deep sadness to everyone. I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends and trust that in each others support you will find comfort, solace and peace at this difficult time.

Dear Olga

I am deeply sadened by the thought that you are no more with us. Our highschool memories will always be cherished. My deepest condolences to your family. I understand the pain you go through as it was three years today my brother Leo passed. I am sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I will miss you terribly, carina was my bestfriend and you were always like a mother to me, ive always told your daughter that and i will never forget the years i spent at your house laughing and having fun, especially the sleepovers. I love you and may you be in heaven and in eternal peace. My condolences to the family. Kc I love you and i know you can get through this <3

I'l miss you always my dear cousin Oggy Bear.
Love Annie

I'l miss you always my dear cousin Oggy bear.
Love Annie

My sweet Olgi
My whole life I adored and loved being with you. You were my beautiful, hype, smart, lets have fun, and everything, older cousin. I have so many cherished memories that now help me deal with this loss.
In those final days, I saw the angel that you have now become. Smile down from heaven on us (the upside down kind of smile so we don't get wrinkles on our nose) and know that we will always have you in our hearts.
love you much,Isa
