Gene, I absolutely cannot believe this is real. My heart is so heavy. You, Mike, Charlie, Barbara and Sherri will always be in my most fond memories growing up. You had such a big heart and always, always looked out for me like my brother. None of us will ever get over losing you but I hope each of us can find a way to live with this great loss.

Although we drifted apart. I still tell stories about the "good ol' days" and "back in the day" we were running the streets of Swansea Manor on our bikes hangin' out in the woods and thinking about nuthin' but skippin' school and chasin' girls. I will always have the best memories of you, my friend. I pray that God grants your family peace and comfort in these tough days ahead; we'll see you again.
