To Yvonne Ellis and family. I found out Tuesday from Rev. Russell Brown about the passing of Mrs. Richardson. My deepest sincere sympathy to you all. I remember when I was a patient at MCV Hospital Mrs. Richardson was my Nurse. I know she will be missed by everyone who knew and loved her very much. May God Bless you all. Your friend, David Shaw Richmond VA (GRTC wheelchair rider of Yvonne's Bus.)
