She was my grandmother and I loved her very much and I still remember the days when she took me bowling and she was the best grandmother I could ask for.
Just a note to say that "Aunt Gussie" will certainly be missed, especially at the Annual Barch Reunion. We all have so many happy memories to cherish.
Gussie was a sweet lady and will be truly missed. We express our sympathy to her children and grandchildren. Our prayers are with all of you.
Aunt Gussie was a wonderful Aunt. I have a lot of good memories of each and every trip she ever made to Pennsylvania. She and Uncle Burt were a real team. They shared a lot of good memories together and they have wonderful children. Their family will always have the beautiful memories. Rest in Peace Aunt Gussie, until we meet again someday. Love, Tracy
