Dear Michele and Family, I got an email from Roz telling me that Gene had passed away. I am so sorry that you lost him. That must have been quite a shock, never mind that it's probably one of the worst things you,
Beth and Mark will ever have to endure. I had every intention to attend the services for Gene, but I messed up my back again and am having some mobility issues. I apologize. I remember your wedding day and was so glad to be able to celebrate that with you. I'm sure you and Gene had a wonderful life together.
You and your family have my deepest sympathy. Know that I care and wish I could have been with you to offer comfort in person. I know you'll have many wonderful memories of your life with Gene. Take care. I'll be in touch. Love, Deanna
