We met Mr. Jenson the first time we visited Archview. Our first impression remained forever. He was a true gentleman. We've remembered him with fondness over the years.
Janet, I've always thought you were so blessed to have such wonderful parents. We love your mother, too.
I know your hearts ache now, but your wonderful memories and God's loving grace will hold you up.
I'm sorry I was unable to go with Buddy to the funeral, and we both missed the visitation. We didn't see the obituary until Sunday morning.
I think of 1 Corr. 2:9 and know he has such a wonderful home now! He truly loved God. Anyone who knew him had to know that.
May God's loving arms comfort you now.

We are so sorry that we missed the visitation and funeral of Gene. I returned from Ft. Worth late Sunday afternoon and did not know he went to be with the Lord until too late. Poppa Gene meant the world to me and I just want you to know that he was a very positive influence in my life with Christ. The talks on the back porch overlooking the lake are still very fresh in my mind and his advice still bears evidence with my walk with Jesus today. God placed all of you in my life at the right time and because of each of you I am a much better person today. Bernice, Janet, and Bo, I want you to know that Judy and I will remember each of you in our prayers. The memories of Poppa Gene will always live in our hearts and we know that through God's grace he is looking down on each of us today rejoicing in his new place with Jesus.
