Debbie,Ricky, Kent and Carrie, I wish I could be there for Uncle Dean and Aunt Maxine's Funerals. Your family has been in my thoughts so very much lately. I had just arrived at Mom and Dad's from Phoenix on the Sunday evening that your Dad fell down the stairs. I helped Mom to go over in the snow to check on him when we saw the Ambulance arrive. Our prayers began immediately. What a horrifying experience for all of you! Your parents have been such good friends to Mom and Dad. Their presence will surely be missed in our family. We lost an Aunt, Uncle and good neighbors so quickly. My love and compassion goes to all of you at this time of difficulty and loss of your Parents. Dad's walks in the morning will never be the same and I will miss seeing Aunt Maxine and visiting with her in the beauty shop. May Heavenly Father's arms of comfort surround you each and may you find peace through the memories of your parent's love for all of you. May you honor their lives through acts of love to each other in the trials ahead. With love, your cousin, Robyn

He will be missed. I thought of Gene when I read this. I love you all. Thank you for sharing your lives with me and my family... I will always consider you my family. You can shed tears that he is gone, Or you can smile because he lived, You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is 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 would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on
