Kathy
I remember Gene's laughter and smiles while we set up for the Holiday Craft Show, and how quickly he got strict once the first crafter tried to extend their space.

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Dear Anne Marie,

Although I did not know your father, I know he did a fabulous job in raising you with true morals and values. You are so kind, caring, and willing, with a sincere concern for others, a gentle spirit, and zest for life. What a legacy THAT is!! Know that your SLAH sisters are with you in spirit while you go through the loss of your father. You and your family are also in my prayers.

Always, Laurie

Anne Marie, Pat, and Fran: I join you in your sorry. I remember "Uncle Gene" with great fondness. His vivaciousness and zest for life were very evident in his life. He enjoyed having a good time.

Dear AnneMarie,



My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May our Dear Hevenly Father comfort you during this difficult time.



I knew your father only through you but you always spoke so lovingly about him that it was clear what a wonderful man he was. He left a legacy to his loved ones and people whose lives he touched that money cannot buy.



With love,
