Cousin Gene: Godspeed on your journey to the angels and your well-earned place with God and family in eternity...

Jody and family ~ my deepest sympathies to you, and all who loved and were loved by Gene. I will always remember him fondly, as he was one of the "brightest bulbs" I ever knew as a kid growing-up with him in STL. My prayers are with each of you ...
