To the Olakowski Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your great loss.
Jean Olakowski was a kind and very caring person. I have great respect for her,I will always remember her,one of her favorite expression, "Go with the Angels", I will always remember her with that beautiful expression. I used to work with the Little Sisters of the Poor for almost 27 years, and I have known Jean for quite sometime. I am going to missed her. May God bless her soul and may she rest in peace, and now she will be happy because she is finally with the angels..
