Dear Precious Ollila Family, Where do I begin. Your Mom and Dad were the Greatest People. My Jim dearly loved George. He knew he was one of the BEST and SMARTEST BOSSES WEIRTON STEEL HAD. George took Jim under his care and at the same time Your Mother was the most hospitable person there could be. she loved her George and everyone knew it. They both were so very special to Jim and I. We looked forward to the times when we would run into each other in town. You have so many precious memories that will now become your friend and I do pray that God will Bless you as you travel the grief path of missing her. Speak of her so often and thnik of her dear smile. May God bless you all as a family. Love, Darlene
Janice, Carol, Bruce and families: I was very saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. Dolores was a beautiful and fun lady – not to mention, the best neighbor. My mom and her had the best time being “bingo buddies” and shared a wonderful friendship. I can still remember her coming to our home when my mom passed. She certainly was very proud of all of you and you were certainly her world. May you find strength and peace with all of the fond memories. May God bless you. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Much love, Judy and George Gelestor
Bruce, Carol, Janice and families, Thinking of you, caring about you and wishing there were words to express our sympathy. May cherished memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. Sandy and Jack Hatala
We were so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. Kenny’s mother was so fond of the Ollila family and was happy to speak Finnish to her friends. Your family is in our prayers.
I remember when I use to play down on Fernwood and Crystal Lane. Mr.and Mrs. Ollila use to come out and talk with my Grandfather. My grandfather brought a Huskey pup from Robinson’s Fruit Farm and gave it to them. I think they gave it to one of the kids. My grandmother passed this past December so I know what you all feel like. Time doesnt replace the loss but it helps you cope with it. I have nothing but great memories of Mr and Mrs. Ollila.
To the Ollila Family, I just read of Dolores’s passing. You all have my deepest sympathy. George and Dolores were good friends of mine. You should all be very proud of both of them. May GOD hold you in his arms during this sad time in your lives.
