Mrs. Lesavich was one of the most kindest, generous person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She indeed treated me with her kindness; she also tolerated my quirky personality but would not tolerate any foolishness. I shall bear witness here that Mr. and Mrs. Lesavich were such wonderful people they were God's gift to me. Sincerely, Mike

Olga was my mother's best friend. She taught me how to knit when I was five years old. There was never an important day in my life that she was not there.
