    Olga was a friend, sister in Christ, and a wonderful person. She was always upbeat, loving and there to help. She will always have a very special place in my memory and heart. Olga took amazing care of my granny, my mom and the fur baby we could not keep. The world has lost a beautiful soul.

    Lovingly called Miss Olga, Olga always had a kind scripture verse or words of hope to impart to all in times of hardship, stress or sorrow. Olga had the faith of her convictions. She was firm and kind, even if she did not agree with your actions. Olga loved your spirit/soul. The Thorne family salutes your heart, courage and Spirit. I know you are with the Lord singing or even sharing your creative crafting with his other angels. RIP beautiful lady. Our prayers are with the Gradnigo Simonet family, May the Lord comfort and give you peace.
