Janet and Family,

You have lost "your" Gus and I have lost "my" Gus. The Gus I called when things broke, the Gus I called when my car had a problem.

He bought dog-cheese for Cera, shared tools with Al, drove us to the Beth Israel, never complained when I ate all of his cheese puffs (actually started buying an extra bag to keep in the basement).

We talked about gardens and flowers, he liked that I came and visited Janet at her house so that she stayed home.

He was good to my husband, my children and me--what a good friend he was.

I'll miss him so much.

Very fondly,

Susan

Dear Janet,

I never had the opportunity to meet Gus but still know how much his loss means to you. Be brave, be strong and always remember the love you shared.
