Subject: Russ from Ron
Russ is as close to an older brother as anyone could be, he would wait for me after school on the weekends and take me up to his college. He helped me with problems over girls, parents, or even older sisters. Whenever i needed help he was always there for me he always told me that if i ever got into trouble he'd be there to get me out of it. If i was ever in trouble with my parents hed always tell my mom to go easy on me or give me a break. When my parents all but gave up on teaching me to drive stick shift he volunteered to teach me, even before i got my lisence. When we needed an adult to go with me and my friends on a ski trip to Mass. he volunteered to go with us even though he had finals the next week. All through highschool he took me up to his college now that im in college he was always up to see me, all of my friends at school would always ask when he would come up to see us.
We are all hoping and praying for your speedy recovery Russell.
See u soon big brother Ron Oliva
