My sweet brother got his angel wings May 24, 2022. I have so many memories of my early childhood with Gene. He was 10 years older than me. I could always count on him. He always gave me a little money if I needed a new purse or hair ribbons. He would drive me to the store and let me shop. He patiently waited for me. He is now with his beloved wife Pat in Heaven along with our Mom, Dad brother Charles, Rick and our sister Helen.
