Dear Francis and Vera,
The last enemy, Death, has taken another of our precious friends, and we are so sorry! May Jehovah give you his peace and comfort to help you endure with your heads up, and a big "Gene Kelly smile" on your faces.

To my Sister, Aunt and Uncle: We buried Gene yesterday, July 17th. I miss him so much and I guess that will not change. I loved Gene with my whole heart. He was a really good person and a good brother to me. Whatever your feelings are about Gene I will always remember growing up with us the "fearless five" and that is mainly because Gene had our backs! He was a big boy and took responsibly for the care of the 4 of us seriously, even though we all know he was really a marshmellow inside. I hope the rest of us will stay in touch, at least with a phone call. I really enjoyed seeing our families together yesterday and hope we can do that more often. Makiah and Little Ricky don't know their extended families and that is our fault. I hope we can change that for them because their parents missed out on knowing Gene and I don't want the kids to miss out on knowing their other family members to. We are different and that is ok. It takes all kinds, and we have all kinds in our family! I miss you guys and I LOVE YOU ALL, Susan, Billy and Jennifer. I wanted you to know that before it is to late to say so. I knew that someday one of us would go, but it feels terrible and my heart hurts so bad that I don't think I can take it if I lose another one of you. But I'm sorry, I have decide NOT to be the next one to go. I am going to stay and see Makiah and Ricky's grandchilden. I think that would be good goal for us all!!!!! Keep In Touch, Love YA! Jerri
