Darlene and family – you did such a beautiful tribute to Gene at the funeral. Darlene – you have a gift of speaking and you showed just how special your husband is. Kim – you are a hoot… loved your tribute… Darl, Darrin and all the rest also did great tributes. Thank you so very much for the honor of sharing time with you and Gene. You are a wonderful caregiver and did everything right. I will stop by and visit with you Darlene i n a couple of weeks – just because I enjoy your company and want to make sure you are doing alright. I know you have a very strong and loving support system – and they are so very blessed having you in their lives. God Bless, and know you are in my prayers. luv irene
