Letter to Gus and Kathleen From Bob Brim July 10,2008

July 10, 2008     Dear Gus and Kathleen,  It was special to see you at the 
gathering at John and Sheri’s.  It would have been much better if the 
reason for you being here was not so urgent.            

My inability to engage in verbal communication leaves me on the fringe 
of socializing, which is a handicap in expressing my feelings.

Your Gus’ Walk Blog will be important to me and others to keep in 
touch with you.  You are very much loved and special to your immediate 
family, your extended family, your friends and your community.  

Ed Bartley’s sequence of pictures of Gus and Karis is an excellent 
illustration of the responsibilties younger generations have in trying to fill 
the boots of their predecessors.  You two are living role models making 
footprints for others to follow.

I join the multitude of others who are with you in spirit.  You will be 
with us in spirit at the family gathering in eastern WA this weekend.  

I know your faith is your most important support in coping with life’s 
most stressful situations.  

We all hope your faith, and the medical skills of professionals will result 
in a desireable long term resolution of the distress you are experiencing 
Gus and Kathleen.
                          
With love and best wishes,  ~ Cbob ~  >>
