To Elizabeth and family: I was saddened to hear the news of Gene's passing. Gene is now home with the Father and no longer suffering. Praise God for that. May God wrap his loving arms around you and keep you and comfort you during this difficult time. Gene will be missed. I love your family so much and the great memories we made as kids growing up together with Kay and Travis. Take care and hope to see you when I'm home in September. God bless you all.
