My father, Floyd Russell, and I are sorry to hear of your loss. We did not know that Leola passed away. I knew her all of my life. If any of you remember Leona Melson (Nonnie), that was my great grandmother who lived just down the street from the old business that Bud and Leola owned. Leola was a great person to know and could always make a person smile. She was a very nice person with a caring heart. We are thinking of you in your time of loss. Please let Bud know that we are thinking of him too.
