To: The Children of Gene Sullivan



It was with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that Pat and I learned of the passing of your father. One of the most memorable times that we have had in our lifetime was the trip we took to Australia with your

Mother and Dad. We just hope that they enjoyed themselves half as much as we did. They were a great couple, and will be greatly missed by all of their friends. Due to a prior commitment with our family we will be unable to attend the service for Gene, but our thoughts and prayers will be with you on this very sad day.
