Hello Michael,
My name is Linda Shields. I am the daughter of Jean Landry, Teddy’s best friend throughout school. I even believe they were in each other’s wedding! My Mother passed away in 2014 and I talked to your’ Mother several times on the phone and she also emailed me a few times!! I yearned for memories of my Mother in her younger years and your’ Mother did not disappoint! She was so lovely to talk to and I enjoyed our conversations immensely!!
We had made plans to get together, but shortly after my Mother passed away, my Dad became ill. It’s been a long road! But I never forgot Teddi and went on the internet to see how she was doing!!
I am so very sorry to hear of your’ dear Mothers passing! I do know my Mother and your’ Mother are reunited again! My Mother would talk about Teddi so much!! My Mother told me stories of your’ Mom at the Russian River! What fun they had!!
I have no idea if this is possible, but if you have any photos of my Mother, I would love to see them!!
Please know your’ Mother was very Special!!! May God Bless her beautiful soul!!!
With Sincere Regards,
Linda Shields

About 45 years ago I have a memory that is indelible about Olga. My husband Bob and I were invited to dinner
at A Russian restaurant with Olga, and her mothet Marie and Nick Gurdin. I believe Lana was there too.
Strangely, I do not recall if Natalie was there. I remember Olga lived up north at the Russian River area.
In a private room in the restaurant a musician played a balalaika and Olga sang in Russian to his music. It was magical, a moment in time I will never forget. Her voice was beautiful, and the scene was something like out of an old movie. Unforgettable! God bless Olga! May she rest in the radiant Love of God. She left me with a moment indelible forever, that I have recalled several times over the years.

Had many fun times at the house in San Francisco and the warmth and graciousness of the Viripaeff's was wonderful. I remember Sigon, and Michaels Grandfather when I would knock on the door and ask "is Mike home?" Olga's son Mike and I were best friends. It is with sadness that I hear of Olga's passing. My Gods grace and peace be upon your family Olga.

Lana I am so sorry for your loss. remember the good times

June 2, 2015

I knew her as "Teddi"; she worked for my boss in the SF school district - this was in 1975. I still have a beautiful, hand-written Christmas card that she sent me in '75 - beautiful thoughts AND
penmanship! My very best thoughts to her family.
