To Nedra and Family,
So sorry to hear of the lost of your mother. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Mother Gussie Robinson will be greatly missed. She was truly an angel from God and a very close friend to my mother, (Bernice Dallas). Now they will be reunited. I enjoyed our years together at LCJFS, Gussie was a joy to work with. She inspired me to feel good by always looking my best!

When I was a new hire at JFS, Gussie was kind and welcoming, making sure others were as well. She never let a day go by when she did not stop and ask how I was doing, bringing with her smiles and happiness. 'Aunt' Gussie, you will be missed.
