Watercolored this little cow for my grandmother right before the hurricane and never posted it! 🐮🐄 I tried calling it “heifer” yet my grandmother refused and said she was renaming it “miss daisy” @yellowshagvinyl#cow#missdaisy#watercolor#sillydoodle#freehanded
Hello friends. Here is our obituary for Gus. Hard to believe it's been a week since we handed him over for what felt like another routine procedure. Thanks for all your support and encouragement.

**In Grateful and Loving Memory of Augustus Elliott Joubert**
December 4, 2023 - July 20, 2024
Augustus 'Gus' Elliott Joubert, 229 days old, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2024, in the arms of his loving parents, having been in the company of family and friends throughout the day. Born on December 4, 2023, in Louisville to Mark and Amanda Joubert, Gus was a beloved son, grandson, nephew, and cousin.
Gus' life inspired people all over the world. Born with a severe congenital heart defect, Gus received a heart transplant on January 16, 2024. Despite the coordinated efforts of his medical team, his new heart did not start beating, sparking a viral request for urgent prayer that quickly garnered the attention and prayers of thousands. Supported by ECMO, and to the surprise of many, his heart began to beat the following day, marking the beginning of what would become a long and arduous struggle toward recovery.
Gus' story highlights the value of each life, the fatherly goodness of God, the efficacy and solidarity of prayer, the gracious gift that each day with our loved ones represents, and the transcendent and far-reaching impact of love.
Gus knew nothing but love from his parents, family, friends, and the team at Norton Children's Hospital who cared for him every day of his life. He loved attention, smiled at his loved ones and caregivers, and made remarkable progress before succumbing to complications following a medical procedure. He will be missed by all those who were blessed to know him. Free of leads and lines, he is now in that place the theologian Jonathan Edwards called a "world of love." By grace, he rests in the presence of that One who is the Fount of all Beauty.
Gus is survived by his parents, Mark and Amanda of Louisville, Kentucky; his paternal grandparents, Norman and Sandra of Orleans, Vermont; his maternal grandparents, Scott and Monica of Newport, Vermont; his maternal great-grandmother, Denise of Newport, Vermont; his aunts Melanie and Anna of Louisville, Kentucky; Melissa (Justin) and Michelle (Roland) of Dayton, Ohio; Laura (Zeke) of Sandown, New Hampshire; Meagan of Derby Line, Vermont; Sara (Craig) of Newport, Vermont; and Michaela (Joe) of Lowell, Vermont; as well as numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his cousin, Philip James McNamara.
A celebration of Gus' life will be held on Thursday, August 1, at 10:00 AM at the Reformed Baptist Church, 3400 Wilderness Trail, Louisville, KY. A brief graveside service at Cave Hill Cemetery will follow. Visiting hours will be held on Wednesday, July 31, from 5-8 PM at Bosse Funeral Home, 1355 Ellison Ave, Louisville, KY.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Norton Children's Hospital Foundation - Brave Hearts (an organization supporting families of children with congenital heart defects) or the Joubert family's GoFundMe. Those wishing to send cards of sympathy may address them to:

The family would like to extend their deepest thanks and appreciation to the staff at Norton Children's Hospital for the compassionate care they provided throughout Gus' 229 days of life. Each day with Gus was a gift and their hard work and loving dedication made each day possible. Norton Children's Hospital, was, in the end, Gus' home. Gus' family also wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to their friends at the Reformed Baptist Church of Louisville for their steady support over the last year. Truly, they have continued to fulfill the law of Christ in bearing this precious burden alongside Gus' family.
Above all, the family will remain forever grateful to those who made the compassionate choice to donate the heart of their own child, granting Gus six more months of life.

@mark_joubert I’m heart broken over little Gus. I also have an 8m old and a son named August. If you’re interested in any memorial art for you or your wife please let me know. It’s on me. Art heals in many ways. I’m so sorry for the loss of Augustus.
$ 7 million salary #Centerpoint CEO making a statement sitting in front of a thermostat displaying 70 degrees after telling us to leave ours on 76, while 1 million + Houstonians are sitting in the dark in 100 degree heat is diabolical work! @CenterPoint#CenterPointless
P.S. boys think flashlights are the coolest thing on the planet especially when you’re completely in the dark for days haha cops & robbers, puppet shows, bed forts with story telling. Who knew 😆
Extremely grateful for my parents tonight. They have gone above & beyond all while being thousands of miles away trying to help keep their grand babies safe during #hurricaneberyl aftermath. Brandon & I couldn’t be more grateful for their help. Best parents ever 🏡❤️🌀
Sum it up my parents are amazing. My dad is absolutely my hero! My mother is amazing. If only they could have found a solar powered margarita machine we’d been set 😆 feel like we’re “glamping” at this point. I’m sweating 🥵 but we got cute palettes in the living room 🛏️🥰
