Gus, Helen and Bess. My heartfelt sympathy to you at this time of sorrow. My thoughts are with you and your family. Memories are wonderful and of great comfort. I was at the cemetery last week planting flowers for my Mom and peaked in on your Mom. Our Moms are just a few feet away from each other. I thought of your Dad and you all. Take care.
