Dear Murbys
Gus was a part of my life since he was born and I was 10 years old. Every day I looked forward to seeing him in Lexington. He held a place in my life and love that i will never forget. He is very special to me.

We continue to pray that God will give comfort and peace during this time. Sanna did a wonderful job of keeping us posted and in a way, we almost felt as though we knew Gusty. God bless you all!

I didn't know Gusty personally, but feel that I did through his Aunt Sana, she loved him so much, and I know misses him terribly. She asked me to pray for him and I have kept him and his family in my prayers. I was saddened to hear, that he passed away. He is very missed. And my sympathies go to his parents and family.

I remember coaching Gus at little league when he was seven or eight. One of the nicest kids I ever met. I am deeply saddened and sincerely sorry for your and our loss.

Don't worry someday we'll all be together again.

I don't know what else to say except that I feel this too and these are not just words.

We will never forget the sight of young Gus flying down the ski mountain in a perfect tuck. He was in his glory on those beautiful crisp winter days. We were always so humbled by his skiing abilities. We feel fortunate to have known such a brave and gentle young man. He will be forever in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

What a terrible shame to lose such a wonderful, talented, handsome and caring son, as your Gus..
No words have ever been made that can make the family and friends of Gus feel better. When death takes the life of a young man with so much promise, there is really nothing a person can say, except, i am very sorry.

I AM NOT THERE ~ Hopi Indian prayer

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
