Our loss is heaven's gain!! We praise the Lord for Gene and Sueanne's friendship. When we were 22 years old and they were many years older, they were our best friends. We often spent long evenings in their living room rocking and talking (and eating, of course! She always had something fresh or from the freezer.) We will miss her smile and laughter!! Our condolences for Gene and the family.
