Dear Marveloi, Brian, Eric, Brandon , Ethan and families, I was so saddened to find out Gene had left this world before I could say goodbye. I cherish friendship we shared and I have no doubt he is singing with the angels and there was a Hallelujah celebration when he arrived. Please keep in mind as you go through this grieving process that love never dies. He is still here with you in spirit and precious memories. Look forward to your reunion with all loved ones that have gone before. Love hugs and prayers to all of you! God bless,

I am so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man. He was my very first Sunday school teacher. And oh what a teacher he was. I learned my things over the years. I am so blessed to have known him and his wife. Rest in peace my Christian brother. Miss Ann

Our condolences to the Carter Family. Attended church with Gene and his family for many years. We were blessed with his teachings on Sunday mornings. Will always remember him saying he was chasing rabbits when he would get off topic. May your family be comforted to know he is with the Lord. We love you all and you will be in our prayers at this time.
