Donajean & Deon, I was so sorry to see that your mother passed away.She lived a long life and that certainly is a blessing. It's been so many years, you probably don't remember me. My dad & mother were Bill & Judith Hoover , good friends with your folks. I think you were in my brothers class at Central Park school. Bud & Dale Hoover, do you remember them ? I always remember your pretty curly hair.I think I envied it . I don't think Deon would remember us, he's quite abit younger .I send you my condolences and deep sympathy .

Donajean and family:

If your mother was as kind and gracious a woman as you, her daughter, turned out to be, then she must have been one really grand lady. Tina and I send our condolences to you and the rest of the Bahr family and hope that you will find comfort in the many friends and family members who now surround you.

Olga was someone who lived her faith everyday. What a celebration has occurred in heaven as this special lady was welcomed home. God truly blessed her family and friends with Olga's presence which will be missed greatly.

Rest in peace lovely lady, we will all miss you.

Dear Deon and Donajean! It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to know Olga. My year that I spend with was an inspiration to me that made me the pastor that I am today. Olga's simple faith in God, concern for others and thankfulness for everything you did for her, will be part of my life forever. If there is ever a Hall of Fame in my life for people in my faith journey - Olga will be put in first! Rest in peace Olga in the presence of your Saviour.

Olga was the most wonderful woman I have ever met in my life. At church she would always have a smile and a gentle word for everyone. I am sure there must have been a celebration in heaven when their angel came back to them.
