I remember Gussie well. She was friendly, warm and a good friend to everybody at the Junior High. She will be missed.
Pete & Cathy,
Sorry to read of your mothers passing…I know she’ll be missed by so many. I remember my kids talking about “Grandma” when they spoke of the lunch lady…my prayers are with your family.
