Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We loved Gene with all our hearts. I am so very sorry for your loss of a good man. Gene had a big heart. Rest in peace my brother.
May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days, my most heartfelt condolences for the loss of Gene.
I also want to share a beautiful scripture that gives us much hope and personal comfort. Acts 24:15 “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Imagine that day when all our loved ones are brought back to life through a resurrection and we can embrace them again. How we long for that truly special day so close at hand.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We grew up with Gene in South Park and are so sorry to hear about his passing.
