Estamos muy tristes por la pérdida de nuestra querida madre.

Olga nació el 15 de Septiembre 1933 en Culiacán, Sinaloa, México. Sus padres fueron Miguel y Eulogia Brijandez. Le sobreviven sus tres hijas, Heidi (Doug), Rocio (Dave) y Liliana. Sus siete nietos, Jesse (Tara), Tiffany (Adam), Talina (Mark), Kristina (Doug), Adan, Everett y Alexandra. Sus once bisnietos, Landon, Shaun, Rylan, Jameson, Isabella, Mia, Cassian, Tristan, Elias, Julian y una nueva bebé que nace en Octubre. Y sus hermanas, Rosalina, Lucila, Raquel, Beatriz y Nancy.

Incluimos de recuerdo a nuestra hermana Yasmín, su primera hija que en este momento ya la acompaña.

Nuestra madre fue una inspiración y gran ejemplo, que dedicó su vida a su amado esposo Rafael y a sus cuatro hijas, y con los años venideros sus nietos. Su dedicación, amor y paciencia eran incomparables y fueron sentidos por quienes la conocieron. Su fe en Dios fue la piedra angular de quien era en cada aspecto de su vida, especialmente en su tierna maternidad.

Creando vida dentro de su hogar ya sea a través de sus deliciosas comidas o pasando tiempo cuidando su jardín fue un regalo que compartió con todos. Su gran amor por la lectura, la historia, la cultura, inspiraron su mente para aprender y reflexionar. Incluyendo las salidas familiares, y conversaciones eran experiencias que ella valoraba mucho. Especialmente los momentos de felicidad que compartió con sus nietos.

Ella era una dama que nunca se apartó de su verdadero yo. Estamos bendecidas y orgullosas de decir que esta es nuestra madre.

Nuestra familia quiere expresarles el más sincero agradecimiento a todos por sus oraciones, amor y apoyo.

We include our sister Yasmin who was her firstborn and accompanies her at this very moment.

Our mother was a beautiful inspiration and role model of a woman who dedicated her life to her loving husband Rafael, her four daughters and with the coming years her grandchildren. Her dedication, love and patience were incomparable and were felt by all who knew her. Her faith in God was the cornerstone in every aspect of her life especially in her tender motherhood.

She found joy in creating a home that was warm and inviting, with delicious meals shared around the table. She loved cultivating her plants in her garden and sharing it with others. Driven by a deep passion for literature, history, and culture, she embraced a lifelong journey of learning, personal growth, and self-reflection. She found joy in her outings and she valued the closeness and conversations with her family. She appreciated her experiences, with a special emphasis on the time she shared with her grandchildren.

She was a lady who never wavered from her true self. We are blessed and proud to say that this is our mother.
