Dear Dottie and Family: I only had the pleasure of meeting Gus twice in the 10 years that we worked together at EnduraCare. In those two meetings, I saw a wonderful, loving, warm, kind soul in your beloved. Even though his health was failing, he managed to give me a warm smile and his eyes shown with such sincereness. I know you all we miss him dearly, but I am sure you know that Gus is in a much better place, with God, and is perfectly healthy. May God help you through this difficult time and may your wonderful memories of your time together stay present in your minds and hearts always. With Warm Thoughts, Gale Lancieri
