To my dear sweet husband Gene, love of my life and my soulmate…I have 30 years of the most wonderful memories of our life together and they keep playing over and over in my head. You were truly the best husband, father,grandpa, brother, uncle and friend anyone could possibly ask for. You were a perfect gentleman and would always go out of your way to help someone in need. The devotion you showed to me and our children and grandchildren is immeasurable. I love absolutely everything about you! Your gorgeous smile, laugh and sense of humor will be missed constantly. I know you are no longer suffering and in pain and are now with our Heavenly Father, and I do find comfort in that but I miss you so much my heart hurts! i'm still not sure how to do this without you but I know you will always be beside me to help me along the way. I know you will watch over us and protect us just as you always have. Rest in peace my sweet,sweet Gene, I will love you always and forever! We will be together again someday. Forever your wife, Leslie
