Dear Susan, I’m not sure if you remember me but we rode to OCC School of cosmetology together along with Libbie Oaks. I am very sorry to learn of the passing of your father and I wanted to pass along my condolences. I see that your father was the sister to Treva Russell. Treva was my dear sweet lunch lady at Lincoln elementary school and I loved her dearly .....so if your father was half as wonderful as she was, he must’ve been one fantastic individual.
