To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Daddy,
I know your time was sometimes rough,
But for us and our girls it just wasn't enough,
I know you'll watch from above and shine down on us with all your love.
I Love You and Miss You!!!

To our friends and family,

We thank all of you for sharing our love and loss of Eugene, but we also want to share our pride in our brother.
Eugene overcame much adversity in his life, which helped him and helped all of us, whether we knew it or not.
Our brother hated the fact that he did not graduate, so he went on to get his GED. Eugene did not stop there,he went to college and received a degree. Even though he still had problems and disabilities of his own,Eugene took this education to help clients of a local half-way house.
Eugene would help anyone whether it was personal, financial, or something to do with automotive repair. If the physical part of this help was to much he would stay right there and walk you through the repair.
Over the last year Eugene had lost the use of his right arm and then in January,2009 he lost most of the use of his left arm. As in much of his life situations he fought hard to regain the use of his arms. By the end of June, Eugene was released from the hospital and home doing most of the tasks he thought he would not accomplish again.
Believe it or not he told me his biggest fear wasn't fighting the pain and improving but letting everyone down that would tell him to get better soon. These are only some of the things he accomplised and for all of them "Eugene we are proud of you".

Eugene we Thank You for your strength, love, and the life lessons you taught us.

You are forever in our hearts,
Michael, Melanie, Adam
