Not sure what to say?

Sorry for your loss. Praying for the family. God understands tears.

Gene you were a wonderful brother and friend! Your heart for others was very strong and your love for your family was wonderful! You told me that you were so blessed and honored by what God had given you. Time will pass quickly and one day I will see you again! The Lord was your Strength and Reedemer and Savior and you served him faithfully! Will miss you so enjoy peace and rest until the Lord comes back and then we will rejoice together!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Gene was one of a kind. I have many memories of us as a grew up. He always mentioned me riding on the Handlebars of his motorcycle. He will be missed by all.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
