Gussie L. Shabel

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family in the loss of your mother who was one fine lady. It has been many, many years since I have had any contact with your family but I always remember fondly my memories of the being with your family from Old Moulton Road to Trinity to Cullman to Hanceville. God Bless each of you at this time and Deborah, you have lost the best friend a daughter can have. I walked in your shoes 14 years ago so I feel your loss. Share with one another your memories of...

The last time I was able to visit with Auntie Gussie was in 1988. We took a family trip, and did we make the memories! Uncle Fritz and Auntie Gussie always went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and that has stuck with me to this day. I remember them coming to my grandpa's farm (Cyril Sr. and Lorraine Feia's) visiting in the summers. Riding 3-wheelers with Jason, and going fishing. I sure miss them both and I am going to miss Auntie Gussies' sweat voice and gentle ways.

Roger, you and your family are in our prayers.

WE DID NOT HAVE THE PRIVILEDGE OF KNOWING GUSSIE IN THIS LIFE, BUT WE KNOW SHE WAS A FINE WOMAN BECAUSE SHE GAVE US HER SON AS A GOOD FRIEND. WE WILL SEE HER IN HEAVEN.
