Dearest Patty and family, Gene was such a wonderful man who made me smile often. I loved having him. In Sunday school class at 1st Church, and I was excited about the love provided by New Hope Church. May you feel God wrapping his arms around you and carrying you through these rough waters. Gene is with the Lord and may you find peace in knowing God and Gene are discussing remodeling the streets of gold to make them better, because Gene always wanted to make things better for everyone.
With heartfelt sorrow and Love,
Chris and Viv
