for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Prayers for you and your family. So sorry for your loss.
So very sorry to hear about Gene. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
I could not ask for a better friend than Gene was to me. We had many good times together that I will always cherish, and I think we made a pretty good fishing team. I will miss you buddy, but we will meet again in a much better place.
So sad to lose another good one!!!

So sorry for your loss. Gene was a wonderful man. So many good qualities. He was definitely a people person. I always enjoyed visiting with him when he would stop by my office. Always had a smile on his face despite his health problems.
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Much love sent your way.
