Harriet R. "Gusti" Krauss

Here, two years later, I want again to thank all who have sent love and support in a time of great loss. Thank you for your caring and loving comments here. She was the love of my life and meant everything to me. A great artist, she was also a generous and loving person who did her best to cause all to love hearing and making music. She wanted everyone to sing out joyfully, without fear, and to love one another.

Miss you my second Mom. The world will never be the same wo your "Gusti" voice and love. I wish the children could have had more input in your going away party. We will never be the same... without you we are the eldest orphans Diana

How do I say "I love you" when we never so much as held hands? It is simple, but perhaps not easy! I remember you from the Ann Arbor Library. Now it is a simple case of "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened. Yo te amo Julian "Jay" Stienon Ann Arbor High School Class of 1956

I knew her only in her pre-Gusti days as a classmate in the Ann Arbor High School class of 1956. She was bright, intelligent, very attractively full-figured--but my male hormones were a bit slow in maturing, and I did not pursue Harriet as a life-long girlfriend. My irrevocable loss. To her family and friends, I would like to gently add my deepest sympathy and sadness at our collective loss. Be safe and be good to yourselves and each other! Cheers! Julian "Jay"...

A wonderful Celebration of Life for Gusti. My husband & I grew up with her son Bill & daughter Helen. Also attended many performances. Thinking of you all with much love.

Gusti gave me my love of music and song back again for that I will always be grateful to her and to my friend David for introducing me to her and her great voice.

Gusti, my sister for more than 50 years, I will miss you forever.
