Dear Edna, Sandra, Francis, Dwight & Families - Gene is in all my childhood memories since we became neighbors the summer before Francis & I had our second birthdays. Gene always had a smile and a hug for my siblings and me. What a wonderful day we had together just a year ago as you surprised Gene with a grand celebration for his 80th Birthday. I'm so thankful to have had that opportunity to hug Gene and thank him for being Jesus to me when I was growing up. This year "I Can Only Imagine" the celebration as Gene has already seen Jesus face-to-face. The blessing of being your neighbor is one for which I'm eternally grateful. I love you and mourn with you. Margaret (Jane)
