I love you all and I know he is rejoicing today to be with Jesus and his beloved Eva. I love to remember how he smiled at me and treated me like a daughter. He was the only father image I had growing up. I miss him already.
Love, Cindy

On Tuesday, April 3, Gene began the most amazing phase of his eternal life! All pain, suffering and tears were behind him! We who have decided to believe in Jesus Christ as our Risen Redeemer, will see Gene one day. It will be our turn to cross over into such unimaginable wonders of Heaven. We pray that you will feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit as you experience the sadness of your loss.
