Tributes
"I would like to send my condolence to the Olberding family. In times like this I reflect on the God's promise in John 5;28,29 of a resurrection of our dead loved ones. I hope this note brings you comfort at this time."
"Remembering my sister when I was a young boy and in my teen years brings to mind the many wonderful times I spent with Chub, and her wonderful family. It seemed I was at Chubs as much as my own home. The material thngs in life were not important, the love that existed in Chubs home was by far the most important memory for me. I will miss her greatly but she will always remain in my heart. Love her baby brother Bobby Jo and Uncle Bob"
"I saw Aunt Chub as a true angel of God with her very soft and kind heart and her wonderful outlook on life. I remember her love for children especially. One of my favorite memories is sewing on an "Apple" quilt wtih her and my mom when we were visiting there. I still have the quilt and because of that have really gotten into quilting since I retried. Aunt Chub did such beautiful handwork much like my mom. I pray she is with my mom and her brothers and all her sisters in heaven."
"I was sorry to hear of Chub's passing, but rejoice in her resurrection. I'm sure she was greeted with joy by those who went before her. Several years ago I had the pleasure of staying with Chub for a week and I am so glad that I had that opportunity. Chub had a "soft heart" according to my Mom and that was certainly true. Her care and concern for others is a testimony to her goodness. I know that you will feel the presence of Our Lord during this difficult time. You are all in my prayers. Chub's sis and your Aunt Joyce"
"Kris, Don & I are keeping you all in our thoughts & prayer."
