One of Gus' lifetime highlights was singing with this group of men. They blessed everyone with 45 minutes of praise music before the memorial service began.
Kelly, our Pastor’s wife, asked us for three of Gus’ golf clubs, preferably his drivers. She created this beautiful arrangement. Gus would have loved this expensive flower arrangement.
Gus’ memorial was such a blessing. I knew no local church could seat the people who would come to honor Gus and to honor his family. I never dreamed we would see so many. The entire service was anointed.
One of the areas I am able to go in and view on this blog is the statistics. I was not even aware of this page until a few months ago. As of today, there have been 14,464 pageviews of this blog. There are people all over the world being touched by Gus' story. The Netherlands, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, Russia, Taiwan, Malta and even Latvia. In April alone, there were 4,908 pageviews. As Gus would say, "Only God could do this".
Scott and I are going to finish Gus' manure spreader as soon as possible. I have the writing on the sides and Scott has the seat and the tongue to attach. Those pictures of our finish will be the final posting of this blog.
I was reading a booklet on grief. One of their recommendations was to finish a project your loved one had started. I hope when Gus' project is finished and moved to its permanent spot at the old homestead, it will be a healing moment for the family.

Dear Kathleen, Just clicked on Gus' Walk. We didn't realize Gus was gone from our earthly realm. Maybe he isn't so much. Thank you for the blog. Sorry to have missed the memorial. Looking forward to the pictures of the manure spreader. Take care. All our love, BJ and John in Ellensburg
