We didn't know Olga well, but for the past about 10 or so years, we have been friends of her son George and his wife Joyce. Our daughter's Gia and Tula are 11+ year best friends. Any time we were ever in Olga's presence, she was always so sweet and kind to us. May she rest in love and peace. -The Medlocks

Dear George and Family, I just heard about Olga's passing from Hilda Gill. The entire Abril family sends their condolences and deepest sympathy. Olga was funny, happy person. Whenever I saw her she was always smiling. That is how I will remember her. Just know she is in a better place and you shall meet again. She is not gone, she is just away. Lots of love and hugs going your families way.

I won´t forget my Aunt Olga, she always had a smile, always welcomed me and showed me she cared. I won´t forget her laugh especially when my uncle George would say something funny she would always say "Oh George". Hearing her laugh always made me smile. I love you...see you later

Dear George and Family: I remember Olga so well since I used to go to her house when I was much younger and trade comic books. I knew her whole family and her older sister and my older sister Mary Rose were close friends. Even though she was younger then I and hung around with a different group of girls, I knew her very well and we were friends. Living in Bisbee a small town where everyone knows everyone else it was easy to meet and make many friends like Olga. I still remember George and Olga walking around high school hand and hand. All I can tell you George is that a loved who is now with our Lord is never far away from those she left behind. Our loved ones who go before us are always watching over us and praying for us and someday we will all be
together again, that is our Lord's promise to each and every one of us. God bless you Love

Our Deepest Condolence to George, son George and the rest of their families.
Olga and I were Bisbee High School Classmates and knew each other since we were Freshman's.
Olga was a Great, Caring, & Fun Individual, my wife adored Olga, as well as my daughters & son.
We will all miss Olga and may the Alcantar Family know that our family will also be Mournful. The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one. May the Good Lord Bless Olga's Soul and Olga Rest In Peace and some day we will all be seeing you.

Our prayers, blessings, and condolences go out to her husband, George, family, relatives, and friends. I'm sure gonna miss Olga so much as we would talk on the phone for half an hour or an hour, we'd laugh, cry, or whatever. When we would go to Bisbee, on the way back home, we'd always call her and stop in Tucson for breakfast w/her and George, sure gonna miss that. She was a true friend, and I'm sure gonna miss her, love her.

Our prayers, blessings, and condolences go out to her husband, George, family, relatives, and friends, and may Olga Rest In Peace. I'm gonna miss Olga so very, very much, as I would talk to her at least once a week, and we'd stay on the phone for half an hour or an hour, she was a true friend. May God open wide the gates of heaven for you, my friend.
