To all of you,
What does one say to make it easier for all. Gene & I were neighbors for over 12 years and enjoyed our Chinese dinners and dancing at the club. We went out for Chinese a few months ago and I tried to reach him two weeks ago but was told he was out of the building.

Always remember the careing, the sharing and the love ---
Always the love

With fond memories and love,

Reba Cole, Apt 109
