Marie I was so sorry to hear about Gene, I didn't find out until this morning or I would have been at the funeral. Robert thought a lot of Gene and Eugenia and Mike were real good friends. I think you all were some of the first people I met after we moved to West Helena. If I can be of any help let me know. You and your family will be in my prayers always.

My thoughts and prayers go out for Mr. Gene's family. I first met this sweet man because he came to school events for Michell. Later I learned how much Gail loved her papaw. I know you will miss his love but you will always carry his spirit with you. May God give you peace and comfort in your difficult time of loss.

To all of Gene's family, I know your hearts are breaking at this time. Mine is, too. There sure is a lot of family history between us.
We all know that he is in sleep and feels no pain. He is at peace. That is the only way I can look at my brother's demise and it feels good to know where they are. If
I can ever do anything for any of you, just let me know.
You are still in my heart and prayers. ...
