Dear Gussie and Family, I was sorry to read about your husband/father's passing. I remember him as a quiet, gentle man at the parties with Schuessler Knitting Mills employees. My Mom (Frances Ozolins) and I will keep you all in our prayers. God bless you. Bridget Ozolins

Aunt Gussie,

I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Harold's passing. I remember all of the fun family times we shared. I see Grandma, Dad, and he up in heaven looking down at us while playing cards.

Love,

Michelle, and Jared, and little Viktor Tansley
