Dear Gus and family: Even in your sorrow, I hope you can hold on to the thought that a life lived with so much love never really ends, but goes on forever in the hearts of those who remember.

By love she is remembered, and in memory, she lives...such a wonderful woman, always with a smile and a kind heart...you all have my deepest sympathy as you go through this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing she is resting in peace. Love, Helen
