Gene was a great young man...I enjoyed coaching Gene in the YFL. He was determined to do well and gave it his all. We never doubted Gene and his talents. He worked hard on the field and at school. We had a great team and Gene was a major part of our success. I will have great memories of Gene...God Bless

Dear Chip and Alice, I am closed to you in prayers and spirit. Jesus promised us that when our place is ready He comes and take us where He is to be with Him at His righthand side, in our Father's mansion. Sometimes He prepares a place faster for some of us, maybe to protect us. May the Holy Spirit make you both stronger in faith and our Father's grace lift you up and increase your hope. I love you both, Marida
