Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Miss Lucille Akins- Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your sister. You may or may not remember me, however you were my third and fourth grade teacher at Price Elementary. I can say that I most definitely remember you. You were my favorite teacher in all of my years of school. As I recall, you always drove beautiful older Buick Electra covertibles. Anyway, I too just lost a loved one. On May 5 My father Fredrick lost his battle with lung cancer. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this most difficult time. Take care and I hope that you are well. Very respectfully, Grant H. Farha
