Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

Olga and I and Shirley another of Olga's friends hung around together in Junior High School. Those were some of my best years. Olga made her clothes and we'd go to each other's houses and send each other thick letters in the mail. We were great supports for one another as we went through the ups and downs of life. It was very interesting to read about Lucie's life as all I remember is her being a draftswoman. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Lynda Boyd (friend of Olga Rosenbloom nee Bilan) on: Mar 24, 2026
