I am sending condolences to the family and memories of Gussie. My grandmother was Will Theus and Vi and Gussie lived in her cottage on Isle of Hope for years. I just wanted to say that we will miss her. I have wonderful memories of the two sisters during their time at Isle of Hope. My parents; George and Will Quaile join me in these prayers. They are now living in the house on the bluff. Gussie was a remarkable woman. I am very sorry I could not be at the service today. Annie Quaile Gay
