Eugene was a wonderful he cared a lot for you Sue!' You was the light of his life!! You was so lucky to find a wonderful man!!
We are so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort, Jehovah, look after you during this most difficult time. In the book of Revelation 21:3,4 there is a beautiful promise he gives where he says that soon will come a time when death, mourning, and tears will be no more. May thoughts and scriptures like this be of comfort to you during this most difficult time.
My sincere condolences to your family May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in Jehovah God's promise to soon "swallow up death forever" and "wipe away the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy
