Dearest Pam, Cambi, Mattie & Chase,
We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Dear Dad & Grand Pa.
Gene was always so special and dear to all of the Madden family thru the years, not only as our close cousin, but one of our deepest friends as well. (As was your sweet Mother, Helen to us also. We all miss her so much too.)
Gene was such a sweet, good and humble man. He always reminded me so much of my own Dear Sweet Dad, that was his first cousin as well. I always thought that they should have been brothers, as they shared many of the same great and fine qualities.
We have many wonderful memories of fun times with your Dad and Mom with my family, that we will always be so thankful to have and to cherish.
I know that Gene has been so lost and heart broken for so long without his Helen, that I’m sure he is now so happy to be reunited with her and our Savior in Paradise.
May God Bless and comfort you all.
Love,
Sandy, Marshall, and
(All the Madden Family)
Gene was such a wonderful person. Never ever did I hear him speak an unkind word against anyone. We all spent many hours setting on Momma Lill’s front porch. He absolutely loved his family beyond measure. Condolences to Pam & Cambria plus the rest of this wonderful family. Can you just imagine the homecoming he has experienced with Mommy, his Sissys & Brothers. But without a doubt, Helen had her arms outstretched first.
I love you all.
