So sorry for your loss, my condolences to the family. This is a very difficult time for you. Death is an enemy to us all, it causes just great pain. We can gain strength and hope from GOD's word. GOD promises a resurrection for the dead.(Acts 24:15) We will see our loved ones live again in a paradise earth, where death and pain will be no more.(Rev.21:3-5; Psalms 37:11,29) For more comfort & support go to jw.org.

Dear Kris-Andrea-Abby:
We were so saddened to learn of the recent passing of our good friend Gus. Everyone loved Gus as he was always so happy and upbeat, he made people feel happy. His escapades as Santa Claus in your neighborhood are legendary. I remember Gus when I worked at the Frankels store at Park Fair when I was in high school, and also at the Bodin Van Dorn University store when I was in college. Gus was a sincere conversationalist. Your neighborhood get-togethers in July were always fun as Gus was always there. We know that you will miss him greatly and that he is no longer suffering and is looking down and smiling upon us all from heaven. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days and months that lie ahead.
