Dear Carol and Family,
We Sisters of the Holy Names are remembering Gene and his family and friends with our prayers at this time when his life has changed but not ended. May his new way of living in God's eternal presence bring great peace and joy to him, and may you experience his nearness always.

So sorry for the loss to the family and to this city for the loss of such a good person. I remember his family in Shelby MT living a block from my home and knowing when he was born. Both the Annis family and the Malleta family were well known and active in our town then too. May he rest in peace after such a busy productive life.
