Dear Olberding Family,
My sincere condolences. Your Mom will receive a special star for accepting and helping to raise all the rowdy boys in the neighborhood! Fond memories of being neighbors and seeing her sitting on the front porch with a smile. Hugs to all of you.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you. A mother holds a very special place in the hearts of her children. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of all the times Lisa and I spent at your house, whether it was in the attic playing house, sitting on the porch with your mom and dad or across the street at the park. Your mom always had a smile on her face and was so welcoming to all of the kids in the neighborhood. She was a beautiful soul! I will keep all of you in my prayers.
I heard about your mother’s death at Holy Spirit on Saturday evening. I am so sorry for your loss and am sending you prayers during this difficult time.
To All of Dorothy’s family: Such memories you must all have of your Mom and your Dad. Memories are a gift received and given. You are all in my thoughts and prayer for peace.
