Dear Ricardo and Familia,
Please know that I have been very mindful of you during these days. Olga was a wonderful woman who was so generous with her gifts and friendship. So many of us were blessed by her. I am personally grateful for her wisdom, support and friendship. I am also very aware of her many contributions to U.S. Hispanic pastoral and theological efforts. Olga touched so many lives and we each could give a "testimonio" of her life-giving presence in our lives.

Los acompano con mis oraciones, carino y aprecio.

Sister Ana Maria Pineda, RSM

Ricardo ... my deepest condolences to you and all the family. It was truly an honor calling Olga my friend. She always worked so tirelessly and volunteered so much of her time in helping bridge the gap among the diverse communities in Indianapolis. Her efforts truly left a mark in this community and she will be missed. Que Dios tenga a Olgita muy cercas en su corazon.

Dear Ricardo,
Please know that you have my sincerest sympathy for Olga's passing. Olga truly enriched the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to know her as friend and teacher since she taught so many of us about social justice. She inspired me and others to find a way to help others in our respective communities.
I was privileged to have her as my friend for all these years and I will hold her memory in my heart always. Ricardo, you are in my family's prayers.
- Rebecca Alvin, Tony Alvin & family

What can I say about Olga. She has influenced my life as much as or more than anyone's.
Indirectly she was instrumental in giving me the opportunity to enjoy life with my father, Charles, for a longer period of time. My father looked forward to his "dates" with Olga when she was going through dialisis. His demeanor changed from resentful to a man willing to fight for what he wanted. It gave him the opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren and create memories for them that they cherish to this day. For this I am eternally greatful to having been a part of her life.
Ricardo, I have no words to make it easier for you, but rest assured she will never be forgotten.
May the gracious lord give her peace.

Olga lives in our memories and continues to enlighten us with her dedication, laughter and wisdom. I will always be grateful to her for her role in the study of San Fernando Cathedral. We shared many good times together. Now she has arrived at the fullness of life to "FIESTA" with all who have gone before her. May she res in peace.
