I purchased a book called "Ask the Angels" from a second hand store in Minnesota. In the book was the remembrance card for Olga ... it touched me, as it has been 12 years since her passing. It struck me as she may be an angel guiding me through my current mourning (the reason I picked up this book to read it today). I just wanted to share this ... I never knew Olga, but I will always have this fond memory and comfort in my heart. :) - Posted by: Carey () on: Apr 27, 2016
