You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your mom was a very special lady. I will miss visiting with her and your dad. It was a privilege to be friends with them. They were fortunate to have such good care from their children these last few months.

my thoughts and prayers are with you and gene and your famleys GOD BLESS
I am shocked and saddened to hear of Gene and Doris’s passing. It was always the high light of my day when they would come for a visit. I will always cherish the amazing National Park stories and keeping up with family adventures. I loved them dearly and will always have a special place in my heart.
Tom & Gail, Wow, What a quick rough road and shock to your system you two have had to endure these last few months. I am praying for you. May God comfort you as only He can.
You know your folks were terrific personal friends of mine. Knowing how Doris was struggling and the misery she has been in for so long, I am sure it is a relief to her to have it all over. To me it seems a great mercy.
Gail and Tommy, I am so sorry for your loss. I sent your parents a Christmas card but it came back, so I started to do some research to see if they had moved or passed. I was hoping they had moved. I am in shocked that they both passed within months from each other. I had spoken to your dad before he passed. I have lost so many people in these three years, it didn’t seem possible that it was that long ago I spoke to him. I tried to find your phone number but in white page’s, it didn’t show. Also have looked for you on Facebook. Your parents and mine are together again. They probably are up there playing cards. Please send me an E-mail and I will write back.
