As a teen, I can remember Gussie always being out in her yard tending to her flowers, usually with a smile on her face. She was always kind to me and I am thankful for the gift she gave to me of a lifelong friend in her daughter, Natalie. My condolences to the family. May you find peace and loving memories in the days ahead.
