After receiving the news of Eugene this past week, it just dosen't seem real. He will be missed so, so much. We keep saying "if we would only have been prepaired". This loss still wouldn't have been any easier. This past week we have cried so many tears but we have laughed just as much remembering Eugene. I'm sure that everybody that knew him has many funny stories about him and some comical things that he has done. We would like to keep laughing but we cry because we won't have him with us anymore here on Earth. We love you Eugene. We love you too Anna.
