I love to visit my beautiful cousin & get hugs from her & give her hugs. Her hugs were full of warmth & love. When she would look at me she always smile this smile of love that would convey to me that I was probably up to no good. There was always a little twinkle in her smiling eyes when she gave those smiles, like what does Uncle Johnny little protégé have in store for us today.

Girls, I am SO sorry for your loss! Gussie was such a sweet and special lady. I know she will be deeply missed. I will have the grand-darlings with me on the day of the memorial, but I will try to attend. Please know that there or not, you are ALL in my heart and my prayers. As painful as this loss is, try to remember that TODAY, Gussie is living the very best part of her life, and that you WILL be together again. I love you all! Jeanne
FROM GUSSIE, WITH LOVE
Until we meet at Heaven's gate
Above the skies so blue,
I'll be as close as your next prayer,
Forever loving you.
So, don't be sad…we'll meet again.
We'll live and laugh and play
On clouds of white and streets of gold,
Forever and a day.
Wife and mom and grandma,
Daughter, sister, friend,
I was all those things…and so much more,
And will be once again.
You see, there is no ending,
Just like the butterfly,
We're transformed to something more;
We never really die!
Dry your eyes now, nothing's passed!
Live life with joy, not sorrow.
Remember all the love that we shared,
And will again…tomorrow.
