Betty, Tom, and all the family, I am sad to hear that Olga passed on. She was a wonderful lady, neighbor, and friend and I have so many good memories of her living next door to my place in Cato. She and Alvis were a joy to be around and were always good friends and good neighbors to me and the Burgin family. I miss her already.
God's blessings to all the family.

Ma Maw,
Thank you for all you did for us!!! Weldon and I would come in from a late night and when we woke up our clothes were always washed, ironed and folded. Magical how that always happened. We will always love you and never forget you.
Love, Andy & Carolyn Johnson

Mamaw, You were such a blessing to us, there are no words adequate enough to even start to tell the impact you had on our lives. What will we do without you? You are the most unselfish person I know, always concerned about others. Although you are going to be missed dearly, I am happy knowing you are with papa and momma. I am sure you are rejoicing in heaven, you were our angel on earth. We love you so much and our lives will not be the same without you. You will always be in our memories, our conversations, and in our hearts. We love you.

Wheeler family and friends. I'm so sorry for your loss. Its not easyto say goodbye to someone you love. Death was never in Jehovah Gods plans. That iswhy the grief isso great because death is unnatural. The bible, howver, gives us hope at John 5:28, 29. There it shows us that we will be able to see our dead loved ones again when they are resurrected. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope this brings you both hope and encouragement.

My beloved Mamaw.....She will be missed so much. She was more than just a grandmother to me. She was a mother, a friend, someone you could always talk to. She was a hard worker, wonderful cook, and always had the most gorgeous flower gardens. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren meant the world to her. There was nothing she would not do for us if it was in her power to do it. I know you are in Heaven with Papaw now and knowing that you are not suffering helps losing you a little. We will miss you so much. Our lives will never be the same without you. I love you Mamaw!!! RIP....

I remember Mrs. Olga Wheeler attending Cato Apostolic Church when I held revivals there as a mere teenager. She was always so sweet and brought me the best pickles I have ever eaten. My sympathy goes out to the family at this sad time.

I miss my great-grandma so much. She was a wonderful woman who lived a long happy life. I have nothing but great memories of my grandpa taking me to see her and in her later years going to see her in the nursing home. As a kid I remember being so excited when Pa said we got to go see Memaw that day. She was the sweetest lady who loved all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren so much. I love you Memaw. You're in a much better place now.

Aunt Olga, you truly were an awesome lady! I always enjoyed visiting you when I came home for a visit. Momma knew your house was one stop we would always make. Your coconut cakes surpassed any other I ever tasted. I'm sure you, Uncle Alvis, Aunt Ruth and Uncle Hub are having a long awaited catfish dinner together once again! I love you and may you rest in peace.
