Condolences

Condolence From: Father Anthony J. Grossi
Condolence: My condolences go out to Olen's entire family. Olen Johns was in the College Bookstore Office Supply business when I was a young monk here at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA. It was the year 2000, and he really taught me a lot about running a bookstore each time he would come into the store to take an order. I thank him for his wisdom and knowledge that he shared with me. I hadn't heard from him in the last 15 years, but I've thought of him often. Although sad, I'm happy he's with Our Lord in Heaven! I promise the family that I will pray for him, and all of you!!! God Bless You! Father Anthony Grossi - St. Vincent College Bookstore, Latrobe, PA.

Condolence: Dad I miss you soo much. I heard of your passing in the Philippines the day I was flying home. My heart sank and I just started crying. Soo many thoughts went through my mind. I went numb and it felt like everything stopped. I am soo happy we had those talks in the hospital about me going to get married and you said I was crazy for going that far and you asked me if I was happy and I said yes very much. And you said good and don't worry what anyone thinks, you have not been happy in a long time and you were happy for me. That made me feel soo good to you approved, it meant the world to me. I am soo sorry I was not there when you passed, but I really think you knew I would not have handled that very well. And I was doing ok with your passing until right now and I am crying like a little girl. There nhas not been a day go by that I have not thought of you. You were someone I always looked up to, such an AMAZING worker father grandfather, I will never forget and I know you are with me watching over me. There is a lot of craziness going on here but I know you know the truth and that is all I care about, and I know you will always be with me and help me through everything I go through in my life good or bad. I will always love you and never forget you, and I am soo happy you are not suffering anymore. It hurt me everyday to see you in PT trying soo hard, soo much effort, and getting soo frustrated. I cried a few times there. I knew how much it bothered you. I know you are in Heaven with all your brothers and sisters and your Mom and Dad. And in no more pain. I know we will be together again , and I still have soo much to do down here for GOD , but we will be together again. Tell everyone I said hi and I will see all of you soon.
Love you 4ever and Miss you soo much.

Condolence: Hey Pappy,

Not sure what to say. I am so very happy and grateful I got to visit you almost every day before you passed. Little Olen says thanks for the cars, he's playing with them right now and still can't get over how the engines are in the trunk. Annie and the kids loved spending time with you. I miss you but know you're in a better place and glad you aren't suffering anymore.

I will always look up to you with nothing but admiration. You are one of those people that no matter how much time passes you pick right up and start where you left off.

The day you passed our power went out for a split second, I am going to hold on to that being you saying goodbye :) I love you pappy and we will chat again one day. Bye for now.
