Jennie, I asked that God give you and your family comfort and peace that only He can give and will last a life time. Keep trusting and believing in God and know that nothing can separate us from God's Love , not even death. Death has no sting because our Lord and Savior conquered death so that victory can be the reward. Ms. Gussie has her reward. Take Care and may the Blessings of God Continue to abound on you and your Family. Know that Ms. Gussieis in a better place and you will see her again. Look to Jesus He will see you Thru. Praying for you all today and the days ahead.
