Hey Gus Gus. I miss you little cuz. I love you so much. Continue to watch over the family. Especially your mom, Aunt Nat. Her heart aches everyday for you babyboy. The hole created when she lost you can never be refilled so now we as her family have to protect that hole by loving her unconditionally and caring for her. That's the only way she'll be able to live on and also by having you watch over her. Continue to ball in paradise. You'll always be #1!

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing you personally, but I watched you play for NH, and you were part of my new hope family. I pray God hold your family close to him in their time of sorrow and that your life and death not be in vain. I pray that the lives you touched will continue to be touched and changed as time continues. To your mother I cannot imagine what you are going through but give it all to God and let him comfort and carry you through your days. Your family and friends will be in my prayers tonight.

Though I've never had the privilege of being a mother, I can somewhat imagine the depth of joy you experienced the day your beloved Nagus came to be. Rest assured, Nat', he will breathe life again as the Word reminds us that it is He who owns the soul. The grand reader of hearts, your son's pure, unique goodness is intimately known to Him and he will be blessed for it. As for you and your family, take comfort in coming to understand that He is also the healer of broken hearts and will bind your pain. While I, too, ache for my loved one passed, it is only through Him that I can stand and stretch out my hand. With sincerest sympathy, Marcie
