Even though we aren’t there, you & your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Alice and I were deeply saddened to learn of Gene’s death. We send our deepest sympathy to the family during this time of sadness.
Or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you cant see him
Or you can be full of the love you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he has gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he’d want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Dearest Iva and family—
I am so sorry to hear about Gene’s passing. I wish I was there to hold your hand.
My prayers are with you. Try to think of all the good memories. He is just ahead of us, we will see him again. Love, Linda
I worked with Gene at Taylor Instruments. He had a lot of funny stories about Harry’s. So sorry for your loss.
