Erhard Olson

Just stopping by to say hi, Pappa and to thank you for all the years you gave me filled with love and dedication. I am able to stand proud...and am eternally grateful to you for teaching me to be honest, upright and most of all kind to both people and animals....all of God's creation. You live on in my heart and mind. I KNOW you are proud of me and that gives me strength to go on when times are

Just stopping by to say hi, Pappa and to thank you for all the years you gave me filled with love and dedication. I am able to stand proud...and am eternally grateful to you for teaching me to be honest, upright and most of all kind to both people and animals....all of God's creation. You live on in my heart and mind. I KNOW you are proud of me and that gives me strength to go on when times are dark and seem dismal. You did NOT have to raise me but you did so out of that big, kind heart of yours. I am married to a fine man now, Pops. I know you like him. One fine day, you will meet him and we will all be together. Thank you for your continued guidance....I know God has blessed me to have you as my Guarding Angel until I no longer need one. I miss having you here. I love you....always have, always will.

It has been 17 long years now since my grandfather, Erhard Olson, died. I miss him as much today as I did the day he died. Even though my life is good, my heart still aches at the passing of my hero and best friend that I will ever have. He cared for me as in infant, taught me how to ride a bike without training wheels, bandaged my cuts and scrapes as I learned life's little lessons along the

It has been 17 long years now since my grandfather, Erhard Olson, died. I miss him as much today as I did the day he died. Even though my life is good, my heart still aches at the passing of my hero and best friend that I will ever have. He cared for me as in infant, taught me how to ride a bike without training wheels, bandaged my cuts and scrapes as I learned life's little lessons along the way. He made sure I grew up to be a self sufficient woman who could tell wrong from right and strong enough to stand up for both people and animals who could not help themselves. He taught me that there is no one in this world that can take away your honor OR your education. He taught me to love even when I faced people who did not love me. My grandfather was my heartbeat and now....every time I think of him...my heart misses a beat....and that is each and every day of my life. I will continue to live my life and strive to be a good, honest, decent and loving person. And when God finally says, "ok, my child, you've done enough and it's time to come home," I will once again see this wonderful man and walk down the "sidewalks of heaven"...a lot like the many times he walked down the sidewalk with me as a child. I love and miss you, Grandpa.
