My sympathy to you Mary Kay and family. Gene was employed at Farmers when I was hired 4/19/71 in Mission BCO. He was always very helpful and friendly to me.

Mary Kay,
I was so sorry to read about the death of your husband. You may not remember me, but I am the daughter of Mary Paul, a longtime friend of yours. My mother thought so much of you and your family. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and your family.

Mary Kay & family - I returned to the City today (Monday) to learn of your loss. You and Gene were the perfect example of a beautiful
Catholic marriage. Gene surely rests in the hands of the Lord. I grieve with you as you cope with these difficult days of bearing his loss. My love and prayers to you & the family. Betty Davies

Mrs. 'Boom and Gene III: Heaven just became an even nicer place. Mr. 'Boom was an inspiration to all of the Troost Lakers, and showed us how a loving husband and father behaves. We are all better persons for having known him. You and your families are in my prayers.

Dear Mary Kay and Gene's family
Death came very quickly but who was more ready for the Lord than Gene. May Gene enjoy those words "Well done, good and faithful servant" All who ever knew him will miss his presence; the daily Mass at St. Francis Xavier will not be quite the same for me with his ready service as altar server. May all of you know the Lord's closeness to you in this time of loss; continue to cast all your cares upon the Lord. Gene and all of you are in my prayers as you close the book on a long and storied life.

Dear Mary Kay,
My heart goes out to you and your family. You and Gene have always been the best model of a lively loving relationship. I can't imagine the loss you must feel. Yvette and her husband David are with us this weekend. Michael and I remember our visits with you. We all send our condolences.
Love & prayers,
Monica Bryant

Dear Mary Kay and family, my thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this very difficult time. I am so glad I got to see Gene while in KC for Brian and Andi's wedding. He looked just wonderful so when Mom called to let me know was very difficult to believe. I'm sure Gene and Dad are having a great 'Notre Dame Reunion'. My love to all of you.
