Mrs Nichols was a very sweet lady. Had many of fun sleep overs at her farm house as a kid growing up, which were amazing and she just treated me like one of her kids. She also was a dedicated bus driver and had my route for several yrs. She never took none of our crap and most of us didn´t push her buttons! We all loved her! Hugs and prayers to the family !
