Dear Gil, Those we love are always with us. Their laughter, warmth and wisdom and the special ways they cared live on in us forever. Olga fought a painful battle and was very thankful she had you at her side. We all know you did all you could to help. I am wishing you warm memories to comfort you at this sad time. Lil
p.s. Sorry I could not join you today.
Gil, our sincere sympathy for your loss. We know how close and private the two of you were and can only imagine how painful it is without Olga. She always loved working in the backyard on the flowers and shrubs. We always felt we got the benefit from all of her efforts as we got to enjoy the view from across the pond. We were always amazed how much time and love she gave to her yard work. She was amazing and will be missed.
Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Dear Uncle Gil, We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Olga’s passing. As Garth and I grew up you were always such a caring uncle as a single man and then lois and I got to meet the two of you from time to time and enjoyed each visit. Our prayers are with you now as you adjust to life without your dear partner. May the rich life you shared together provide you with sustaining memories.
