Janice, I don't know what to say except I am SO sorry. I was searching for you on Facebook of all things and somehow found Gene's obituary. I can't imagine how you feel or what you are going through but I do know Gene was the love of your life and that you must be devastated. You are one of the strongest women I've ever met and I feel fortunate to have called you friend. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Jane
