To the Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

A life well lived give credit to our creator who made us in his image Genesis 1:27. It is no wonder that we thirst for life to realize or dreams and to go on adventures. Soon, our creator will provide an environmental in which no longer cry from the pain of death. My sincere hope for the family.

My deepest condolences. Death of a loved one is never an easy thing to go through. Just remember you are not alone. Isaiah 61: 2 "...To comfort all who mourn" God is right here to help you.

Gene was always his own person, a good neighbor and a loving parent. It was fun to watch him drive by waving and tooting the horn from one of his antique cars. We remember an evening years ago when we unsuccessfully tried to get rid of a nest of bats with shotguns at twilight - it was hilarious.

I am so sorry for your families loss. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory, because those who passed on our precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15) Please take care.

Linda and I are so sorry to hear of our friend Gene's passing. Particularly since we are 2000 miles away in Houston visiting our son Mark, his wife Nikita, and their boys (including our newest grandson Liam-5 weeks). We do not get back home until late Wednesday. It was such a pleasure to give Gene a ride home from Wednesday breakfast because it gave me a chance to get to know him better. Gene is a great man. May God bless the family. Love, the Batstones
