I will always think of Aunt "Gusta", Aunt Helen and my mom looking out for each other as they got older. They would call each other every day to check up with one another. After my mom entered the nursing home and was no longer able to communicate very well, Aunt Gusta always wrote to her on a regular basis. Our family will always remember her as the kind and loving person she was.

To Al and Alberta: so sorry for your loss. I remember all the good times we shared between our families as we lived on North Water St. and all attended Central grade school and OHS. My Mother also worked for years at Universal and spoke fondly of your Mom all the time. May the Lord grant you His Peace during this most difficult time. Our love and prayers to you. Jim Bishop, Sister, Maureen Gilna, and brother Fred. Blessings to all. Please contact me when you can.
