Sheila and family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My heart is broken. Gene, was family to our family. He was like a second Dad to me growing up. He played with me, told me stories, held me and always had a mint in his pocket for me. I was too little to understand that he was a friend of our family and not my blood. He was at our house almost every day, if not every day in Germany. I have a love for Anne Murray and John Denver because of him. When we came to the states, Gene was still around, a constant solid comfort. He would even spend time with us at Grandma and Papa's house in Kansas City. How was I to know he wasn't my family!?! I remember the day that he came to visit us in Riley, Kansas. He had a beautiful woman with him. I sat and watched her, I had to see if she was okay. She was!!! She was a keeper for sure! We would soon visit you all and get to meet the rest of the family. I loved you all. I remember when baby Reg came. I watched Gene with his baby. I was young but it wasn't hard to tell that it was true love with all of you.
Next to Papa Allen, this is my hardest loss. I can not imagine how you all feel. I am very grateful for the visit we had last summer. I would have never dreamt that it would be the last time that I told him how much that I love him.
I can't believe that my health left me unable to attend Jenna' s wedding in June. I am even more broken that I can't come be at the service and hug you all and say good bye. Please forgive me for not being able to make the trip.
YOU ALL ARE my family too. The moment you came into his life, you came into my heart.
I am praying for each of you. Time and distance has been between us, but nothing can come between love.
All of my love and prayers,
Cindy
