Joanne & Family, please accept my sincere sympathies and know prayers are with all.
Although many years have passed since last seeing the both of you, I know Gus was love and loved by many.
May the loving memories he so wonderfully provided you with through the years, comfort you in all your tomorrows. ~ Memory Eternal ~
