I am so sorry that I cannot be with all of you during this time. I adored Uncle Gene and tried to visit with him each time I traveled home. I sympathize with all of you who feel the greatest of loss. Uncle Gene now walks with my dad, Sam. God bless you all and forgive me for being unable to share the final moments with my distant but loving family.
