I can’t say enough about how much mom made all of our lives better. She was loving, caring and generous and her smile always made you feel better. We love her so much and will miss her even more. We love you mom and yia yia,
Love always and forever,
JG, Jennifer and Demetri(Jimmy)
Mom, Your light will be eternal, through your children and grandchildren. We love you. We will remember all you have taught us. We will close our eyes and see your smiling face. We will listen for your kind words. We will feel your loving embrace, always!
Love you Mom!
Faye and John
I don’t know where to begin. I knew your Mom for about 70 years and it seems like yesterday that we were in class together. The image of her dressed in her school uniform, a blue skirt and a white blouse (shiny like silk) with a blue sort of ladies bow tie and her lovely eyes will stay with me forever. Thinking about that time makes me very melancholy and brings tears to my eyes. She was such a good sport who I could talk to and she had great patience in answering all of my many questions regarding our childhood days. I will miss her and she will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I know that at the end she was well cared for by you all there and I commend you all for being such great children. She was very proud of you all and I know loved you all very much.
I was so glad that both of us were able to attend the GAI 100th anniversary dinner since it provided me with the opportunity to relive and laugh about some of the “good old” days. We talked about our passing and agreed that because of the distance between us and we wouldn’t be able to not see each other off but that we would be there in spirit. So Olga I am with you there in spirit.
When I mentioned your Mom’s passing to Tripp, at first he couldn’t believe it since he just saw her last year and they he remarked “at least they’re together now”. Ana remarked that, that says it all.
To you Faye and to your siblings I know it’s a difficult time but please take care of yourselves. Please don’t forget us and you all are welcome to visit and stay with us when you’re in New York.
For the last time, Bye Olga.
Love,
Ana, John and Tripp
Lovely mother to my dear friends, we will always miss your beautiful heart!
Mrs Bochis…A beautiful woman and mother to my dear childhood friends. I was privileged to live next door and get to know you growing up in Montvale. May your memory be a blessing to all those you touched in life.
With Love,
Lori Friedman Goldfinger

Eternal peace to Olga
Praying for peace in your soul, and that the love from your wonderful mother help sustain you as you move through this trying time. Love you Faye.
Olga will be missed by so many — not just her family, but so many friendships through the years. She was my son’s mother-in-law and he could not have asked for a better mother-in-law than Olga. She loved her family, they were her life. She and Stacey came to some of my finer moments and those when I was ill in the hospital. She welcomed me into her extended family for which I am most grateful. I, too, will miss her.
My mother-in-law, Olga Bochis, was indeed a terrific lady. When Stacey and I were dating, she immediately accepted me into the family and instantly became a loving mother when we were later married. She exemplified everything we all come to expect of motherhood, and she did so with grace, charm, and dignity. Olga will be sorely, sorely missed by us all. While I lost a wonderful mom, the Lord has gained a true Christian ally in heaven.
My memories start with Olga shortly after I met Stacey several years ago. We enjoyed several dinner outings with our moms and they talked about the difference in how they were raised and how “young people” are today! except, of course, their daughters who they raised to be wonderful! When my mom passed away last Novemeber, Stacey and PJ brought Olga to her funeral. She was so compassionate and gave me a beautiful card and gift. She always had a smile for me and listened with genuine interest when we talked. Because of her loving hospitality, I never left her beautiful home hungry. Olga’s conversation always centered around her dearly loved family. My favorite memory is going to Greek church with her because of her strong faith and her patience with reminding me not to cross my legs! Missing Olga is such an understatement because there was such a comfort in knowing that she was just a phone call away for all of us. Now she is a prayer away! My love and prayers to you, Stacey and all your family who have welcomed me so many times at your family gatherings. I am here for you all. Rest in Peace, Olga. With love, Carol
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve been thinking about and praying for the whole family.
Love,
Jahn
