Our Heavenly Father whispered in Gene’s ear it is time to come home. So he took with him the twinkle in Gene’s eyes, his beautiful smile, and his wonderful sense of humor. Those of us who loved him are sorrowful at this time, but hopefully our sorrow will soon be replaced with joy as we think of how blessed we were that such a wonderful man touched our lives.
